Container gardening
Containers are a great way to add color and interest to your landscape. A container can become a focal point or be used to fill a void. Planting a mix of annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs can make your container very unique. This is a great way to experiment with plants you do not normally use. Think color, texture, height and form. Remember the importance of good drainage, soil mixture, fertilization and watering. Keeping your containers going throughout the year (spring, summer, fall and winter) is a great way to extend your garden.
