#Container gardening has increased in
popularity over the last few years. Planting in containers is not
just for people who lack space, but can be a unique embellishment for
any gardeners garden. The best thing about container gardening is
you can put it wherever you like, and since your garden is portable,
you can move plants in an out of the sun and rain as needed, move
them around for different effects and move them inside for the
winter. Your container garden can be as whimsical or as proper as
you see fit.
Containers can add instant color,
architectural interest, or can be used as a focal point to any area.
One of the fun parts of planting in containers is that you get to
choose the container, which can be anything from a plain pot to a
washtub to a barrel to a pair of boots or a modified chair. You can
let your imagination go wild on the shape, size, color, width, or
height of the containers for your garden; personalizing it into your
own unique piece of art.

Containers allow you to experiment with
new plants, try something outside of your growing zone; new growing
medium, new watering methods, etc; if you don't like the results of
your experiment, it is easy enough to start over with something new.
So join the fun and just don't limit
yourself to flowers, try vegetables, herbs, vines and yes, even
shrubs and trees.
