Container Gardens for Small Spaces
Big plans, small space? Create a container garden
It doesn't take an acre of land to make a glorious garden. A small patio is an ideal spot for a container garden. So is a porch, balcony, or corner of the yard that needs some special attention. You just need a little planning and imagination.
Personalize your container garden
One nice thing about container gardens is that the containers themselves become part of the landscape. So you can really personalize your space with unique shapes, colors, and sizes before you even put any plants in. Let the containers reflect your style, your region, your sense of humor, or whatever you like. For a more natural look, use a variety of shapes and sizes of containers, and contrast your plants for color and interest.
Tired of the look? Switch it around
It doesn't take much to create a whole new look with a container garden. Shift around some containers, add or subtract different plants, and suddenly everything looks brand new. You can try a few hanging containers, put flower boxes on your railings, even plug in a tabletop fountain. There's no limit to what you can do in a small space with a container garden.
