The Apartment Gardener

I picked this book up years ago at a garage sale, lost it, and recently replaced it. I have many gardening books...when I need to look up anything about my plants, I go to this book first. It lacks pictures (that's why it lost a star)...but it has comprehesive information on just about everything pertaining to indoor plants. I especially enjoyed the tidbits on growing fruit plants indoors. It is an easy, down-to-earth read.Don't let the title scare you off if you live in a home. I own a home in the country and find the information still very useful.

A well written easy to read source of inspiration for all those people who have wanted to garden, but lack a yard to do it in. Unlike standard container gardening books, it is tailored directly to growing conditions in apartments, where light, space and humidity are important considerations. After one hour with this gem, I ran out to buy potting medium and soil and began my happy gardening experience, in the heart of a busy city. I have found it a valuable reference, suitable for the novice or advanced apartment gardener.
