How we like planting in containers! Traditional planting beds and gardens on a grand scale need careful planning to ensure that each plant receives the optimal amount of water and sunlight. Some plants need pruning in the winter, while others are best planted fresh each spring.
But growing plants in containers is a whole other ballgame. Unlike in a traditional garden, where weeds may readily spread to your potted plants, with a container garden you can simply move your plant in and out of the light, manage the moisture it gets, and weed much less often.
Growing plants in containers is a great option for folks who don’t have a yard or who have limited space for gardening. A container garden is a great way to bring the outside inside, and it can be set up on a windowsill or balcony.
There are many methods to make your own special container garden, but we’ve chosen a couple that are particularly eye-catching to get you started.
