Reviews"Apple cheeks and a lazily pruned head of curls have scored British gardener Arthur Parkinson, 31, some Instagram likes. But he's found more lasting success with his intimate, lushly photographed guides to organic gardening, hen-keeping and life in rural Nottinghamshire. His latest, out this spring, is The Flower Yard in Containers and Pots (Rizzoli), and it's a romp around the terrace. The new book explains which flowers have the "clout and glamour" to thrive in containers when spaceis at a premium (tulips, poppies,cosmos, dahlias) and how to make apotted "bulb lasagne" of different flowering varieties for longer overall bloom times." -- WALL STREET JOURNAL "Arthur's calling card is a touch of whimsy; he believes in dramatic colors and often fills a space with a brood of feather-footed hens prancing among the florae. The author believes a romp amid the verdure is a sanctuary for people and wildlife alike. In the book, he expresses a passion for sustainable practices and yearly rhythms to cultivate healthy vegetation. The thrill of birdsong and sweet-scented petals gently bouncing in the breeze pair together for a full sensory treat." -- VICTORIA "In his new book, The Flower Yard in Containers and Pots, (Rizzoli, 2024), he shows you that you can have a luscious garden on a small front porch, a doorstep, a roof or a balcony if you don't have enough room elsewhere. And in the back, there's a very useful list of mail-order suppliers of bulbs, plants, seeds, pots and much more. If you didn't think you had room for a garden, Parkinson will prove you wrong." -- GARDEN DESIGN ONLINE
