Troy Scott-Smith on Spring and Summer Containers

Troy discusses the basics of pot selection, compost and placement of pots and containers in the garden for best effect through to combining plants for maximum impact. Aftercare such as dead heading, staking, feeding, successional planting are covered. The season will start with early spring bulbs, through narcissi and tulips to early summer displays of annuals and perennials. As well as practical tips and ideas there will be lots of inspiration from photographs of Troy's pots from Sissinghurst and Iford Manor where he has worked, as well as other gardens.
