GROWBIZ: What Others Have to Say
There is an interesting article about one size of these miniature gardens in a leading Home and Garden Magazine. Following is some of what it says:
"Usually, decorative planters are placed within a garden, but these feature the whole garden in a single pot. The idea is an adaptation of a French parterre garden, where flower beds are arranged in an ornamental fashion...It is taking a serious form of gardening and having a different attitude about it Planting in a pot makes it whimsical.
These tiny gardens are ideal for a townhouse or condominium where outdoor space is limited... their appeal goes beyond pure aesthetics. They are convenient as well. They're like having raised beds but in this case, they are also portable. ...begin with an appropriate container... choose these of Italian terra-cotta "because they are short and squatty." Their shallow depth keeps them in scale with the small plants..."
These are the larger form of miniature gardens covered in the Growbiz Guide. But the genuine Italian containers are very expensive! The Guide will show you how to make appropriate containers for pennies each!!!
Dear Mr. Phillips,
I am delighted with your guide which, much in contrast to a number of other, how-to-books, is truly valuable. The information, illustrations etc. are more than thorough and easy to understand and follow. You share a wealth of knowledge and I have to learn/study a lot, but it is a most interesting job.
Sincerely,

Dear Growbiz,
I have written to many ads on how to make money. Yours is the first
one I have sent for.
You have done a good job on putting your material together. I am
sold on your planters for a full time business.
Thank you,

Dear Roy,
Your Guide is very well written. I have had several businesses of my own in the past and must say all the reasons you give for having your own business are very good. I like to work with my hands to make things and work at home so your plan has me very excited. Never thought of myself as a gardener but this is different.
Thank You,
