Container Gardening


English Gardens represent controlled chaos at its most beautiful. Plants and flowers intermingling to create something truly gorgeous! I would LOVE to have one of my own. But let's face it... a lot of us don't have a sprawling yard or even a grassy patch to lay down our own personal field of dreams. Some of us are just working with a concrete jungle. 

BUT that doesn't mean you can't experiment with a foliage party. I'm talking about "Container Gardening" folks! Container gardening is fabulous for several reasons: They work with a range of plants and in a range of locations, from balconies to large backyards. You can grow herbs, small crops, spring-flowering bulbs, alpine plants and more in a small space! Click HERE to learn more about maintaining (not killing) your container plant!      

In the meantime, here are some beautiful images to inspire you!

    I'm horrible when it comes to gardening, so I thought of starting with a container to see how it goes.

  11. These are so cute! And would be perfect for some spaces I've been looking to move to in the city - since there isn't too much room for the greenery, these would work so well! Thanks for the inspiration.
