I recieved my book and have only briefly looked over it but I was very pleased. I was able to quickly look up questions I had and the author had enough information for me to use. The author gives example that a beginner like myself can use or more advanced succulent gardener could appreciate. The photos are beautiful and generous throughout the whole book. I was really happy with this purchase and would recomend it. This book insn't so much of a "how too", so if your looking for step by step,look elsewhere. The title of this book doesnt suggest it's a how too, i just want to help any buyers to know what their getting. This would be a nice gift. The ideas in this book are creative and inspiring!! AAA's all around from me.

I confess that I am late to the party on this one, but I'm glad that I've finally read Debra Lee Baldwin's 'Succulent Container Gardens.' Can it be? A gardening book with beautiful pictures AND enjoyable text? Yes, it is. The book is certainly beautifully and generously illustrated, but what stands out for me is the informative, clear, and sometimes amusing exposition. The occasional personal anecdotes reveal a practical and unfussy gardener who allows serendipity to make some of her gardening decisions. I wish I had 10 thumbs to give this thumbs up!

I really like this book, it's so fun to look at. It has amazing pictures! It doesn't give information on care but has great pictures and has given me a lot of great ideas for how to show case my plants. If anything just buy it for the pictures. This is one of those books that would go great on a coffee table.

This is an awesome book on container gardening. Ms. Baldwin accepted the challenge of demystifying succulents and how to grow them. And she did a wonderful job! She starts off by pairing plants with various pot types and styles. From there she talks about the many types of succulents along with some companion plants to consider. At the same time, you can see colorful photos with crisp detail. If you are a visual person like me, I can't say enough good things about the importance of well-developed pictures. She talks about displaying your plants, the proper care and, lastly, she gives you some wonderful plant lists. If you are ever considering growing this family of plants, I would tell you to consider investing in the hard copy. It is money well-spent; you will get much use from this book.

Debra Lee Baldwin is an author with an eye for color and arranging succulents in the home garden. She lends her vast knowledge of succulents and lends an artistic eye to her compositions that both inspire and make you understand the simplicity of organizing shapes and colors with nature. Her choice of plants is excellent for the Southern California plant enthusiast who will likely be familiar with most of her choices. She reveals the beauty of succulents when paired with colorful planters and pots of all shapes and sizes. Designing with Succulents is another book by the author that I would recommend. Both books are recommended for the home garden enthusiast who is looking to beatify their home environment.

I was prompted to purchase this book after a beautiful photo accompanying a review in the paper caught my eye. I have been intrigued by succulents, and due to space considerations appreciated the special approach regarding containers. The book itself is breathtaking in its beauty. You can see the author's expertise with photography as well as her plant and design knowledge throughout. My first use of the book was to learn more about the succulents I have been growing, and how to help them thrive (some can tolerate lower light conditions, for example). I repotted and arranged them, and then have moved forward to purchase some new plants for further experimentation. While the book could serve as a coffee table item, please do use it to put together artful arrangements of these most stunning plants!

There is a large selection of incredible ideas shown with photos from both public and private gardens as well as inside homes to the plant show world of competitions. The variety is astounding. There is a generous section on how to care for each type. After leaving California after several years and am now east away from those wonderful 8-10 temperate zones, it was somewhat disappointing how limited we are here to 'hardy' varieties. Anything else we plant must find a spot inside for the winter. But that's no fault of the book. There are many ways shown to manage those arrangements. This is a truly gorgeous book.

Este libro me encanto, las fotografias son lindisimas y la readaccion en Ingles es muy clara de todo lo que lleva mantener un jardin de suculentas con macetas. El libro de pasta gruesa es maravilloso y el empaque y la entrega a tiempo.

Good

Beaucoup de photos superbes qui donnent envie de faire pareil. J'aurais adoré trouver ce livre traduit en Français ! Je le recommande aux amoureux de succulentes.

Book contains good quality of imges

A great book for cactus and succulent lovers! Even my friends who don't understand English have gotten a lot of ideas just from the pictures. Full of color photos and lots of information, a great book for those who don't want to be watering every day during the long hot dry summer. Now if I could just find some of those beautiful flower pots she shows in the photos!
