Where to Buy Those Plants for Pots

Our recommendation is that you always purchase your plants from a nursery or reputable garden retailer. They usually give you a guarantee for your plants and you know that they are free from contaminants in the soil or in the plant. Almost every plant that you grow in the ground you can grow in planters, pots and containers. Just experiment with the right combination. Of yes, make sure that you have a container with holes for drainage!

Gardening in Pots with Ease

When you have your garden in planters and pots, you still need to give some thought to where you want to place your containers and what to put in them. Often they look best if grouped together or one big garden urn at a central focal point. Now is the time to think about where to place them - think about the amount of daylight that you have on your balcony or patio and then give consideration to what plants would do the best in that climate.

Container Gardening at the Office

What a great way to brighten up the day at the office - use your garden containers, pots and planters. Not just for decoration but add your own personal touch with flowers and plants. You are right there each day to check the water levels and of course the plants give back much needed oxygen to the environment. Plants provide tranquility in your busy day, relieve stress and give peace of mind. Relax and smell the roses!

Your Dream Patio Garden

Even if you don't have a large yard or acreage to begin your gardening career, do not despair, gardening in containers and planters is here. You can fulfill your dream or creating a beautiful space with garden planters, pots and urns right on your balcony or patio. You won't have to mow the grass and have even more time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You can start with annuals, perennials and even shrubs and trees. Just make sure that you have the best container - one that will not crack, break and of course looks great!

Another Reason for Container Gardening

When you don't have a large garden where you live, you can always get into the gardening scene with container gardening. You will need to purchase the best container, plant or pot that you can find. They need to last, hold their color and be moved easily from place to place on your deck or patio to take advantage of sun or shade conditions. In the garden container, you can grow herbs for that breakfast omelet, flowers to look at or to cut to that indoor vase, or even plant shrubs and small trees. How versatile!

Planning for Container Gardening

The New Year is a good time to start planning for your garden. Even if you live in a high rise or only have a small patio, deck or even a sunny window, you can always create beautiful gardens with planters, pots and containers. You can grow flowers for beauty, lovely foliage to hide that unsightly storage area or provide a focal point to create interest. Now is the time to start planning - get out those catalogs and find joy in the garden this year.
