Grow Fruit & Vegetables in Pots: Planting Advice & Recipes from Great Dixter Hardcover – Illustrated, February 12, 2020

This year I really wanted to learn how to gro fruits and veggies in my small home and this book is helping me gather exactly how! It’s a great book and great quality.

Love Love this book and the Author who is extremely helpful! I also love the provided recipes. I recently purchased a 3 in 1 espalier Pear Tree and wanted to leave in a container. I sent the author a message about further tips and he sent me 3 messages with suggestions and tips. Huge HUGE fan!! Looking forward to his next book.Photo attached is a photo that he messaged me on a potted espalier fruit tree suggestion

Love this book. So many great practical tips. I had been googling a lot of things, but this is a much more reliable, beautiful, & convenient source. Highly recommend.

I found this book to be exactly what I wanted - Straight forward, beautiful photographs and design, informative. My only complaint is that I wish Phaidon printed in USA.

I just ordered a second copy for my daughter. This book and beautifully photographed – what's not to love about photographs taken at Great Dixter? – and very useful.

Such a charming book that reminds you of the basics of potted gardens. So useful!

Great for a beginner gardener. Easy to read, well structured and illustrated. Very happy with this purchase!

I bought this book for a friend and liked it so much I had to get a second copy to keep. I love the style, with easy to follow guidance and a good structure. I've had to supplement some of it with extra research (eg on pot sizes) . It has made vegetable growing seem completely accessible and I now have a patio packed with pots and I'm brimming with anticipation to see what works and start eating the results! I am a much better cook than gardener, so the recipes are a nice bonus but I wouldn't buy the book for them. The friend is equally thrilled with the book.

As I have limited space in my garden to grown much I have been doing more "pottering around" and enjoyed accumulating more and more plants. The tips in this book have allowed my to take my skills quickly to the next level. The little tips on pot size or soil type have done the trick in getting more successful outcomes. I love to cook, so growing veg in pots has been so great.

This is the second book by the same author I have purchased - it feels like an old book and is a good read plus some nice foodie bits in. It isn't full of recipes but it takes you slowly how to put veg in tubs etc. It would make a lovely gift for a friend or mum

I thought this book was great on first glance. The pictures are beautiful and inspirational. But the paragraphs are long before they get to the information you really want to know if they doe at all - like works best - in what size pots - what crops combine the best - what sort of pot to use for what etc. The different fruit and veg are not on separate pages and the guide is vague as to what you should try first if you’re a beginner, and when you should plant things throughout the seasons’ progression. I think it could be far more practical than it is whilst retaining its beauty. And more than half the book is recipes which isn’t what I bought it for. Sadly feels like it spends more time on the shelf than as a practical gardening guide.
