Maggie Stuckey is a gardener who cooks, a cook who gardens, and a writer happily immersed in both arenas, as the titles of her books suggest: Gardening from the Ground Up, Soup Night, Country Tea Parties, The Complete Spice Book, The Complete Herb Book, The Houseplant Encyclopedia, and five others. She divides her time between Portland, Oregon, and the tiny coastal town of Ocean Park, Washington.
'Stuckey delivers a simple manual on how to grow plants in containers. The thorough, no-fuss advice for growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers will get beginners started in no time.' * Publishers Weekly * '[S]weetly nostalgic and immensely practical. This entry-level book is sure to become a favorite resource, and whether they're drawn to the warmth of the narrative or Stuckey's encouraging tone, its readers will be anxious to try their hands at gardening this spring.' * Booklist *
