Search Automotive Travel Education Employment ... Food Landscape With Container Gardens From traditional terra cotta pots to whimsical washtubs, more and more people are using containers both conventional and avant-garde to indulge their green thumbs. "Containers let you garden in the smallest of spaces, inside or outside," said Larry Connelly, a landscaper based in Austin, Texas. "They're great for growing plants that may not thrive in a traditional garden. But best of all, containers let you take a flexible attitude toward gardening and move plants around at the slightest whim without making major revisions to the landscape." With more than 23 years of experience as a landscaper, Connelly, better known as "Landscape Larry," incorporates container gardens into many of his designs. Connelly said there are several tips professionals use to ensure a successful container garden: Use your imagination. Terra cotta is nice, but there are plenty of other types of containers to choose from. Don't be afraid to try a planter box or wacky containers, like watering cans or wastebaskets, even old washtubs or aquariums. Just remember to poke a hole in the bottom for drainage. Put plants of various shapes, colors, sizes and textures together in the same container to complement and contrast. Size matters.

Home Catalog Abbreviations Order Form ... Container Gardening Alpine Container Gardening by John Tsutakawa, San Francisco There is a rich tradition of European and American alpine and rock gardening using containers, raised beds, alpine houses, and open gardens. "Trough" gardening, or the use of stone troughs for miniature gardens, is the most popular, yet only one of several alpine gardening forms. This article explores growing alpine plants in containers in general. Alpine container gardening incorporates many styles and forms, as specimens or collections, miniature gardens, living art, bonsai-like creations, and even tiny, picturesque landscapes. As single specimens or in groupings, containers accentuate the beauty of certain species in their unusual forms and rich blooms. Combinations of alpines can create finely-detailed, miniature gardens or artistic collages with striking contrasts in color, texture, foliage, and shape. As focal points or as part of a miniature landscape, dwarf trees and shrubs can add further detail and contrast with the other elements. What are alpine and rock garden plants?

A balcony or deck can be easily transformed into a lush oasis. We've all seen spectacular displays of flowers overflowing pots but now it's time for vegetables to take center stage. Don't think vegetables can be attractive? You'll be surprised! Not only will you have a striking garden you'll have some delicious produce as well. Here are a few tricks to keeping your container garden healthy: Choose large pots. The sun can heat the edges of pots potentially damaging the roots. Larger pots give roots more room as well as keeping the soil moist longer.

Gardening in Raised Beds and Containers for Older Gardeners and Individuals with Physical Disabilities Prepared by Diane Relf, PhD, H.T.M. Extension Specialist, Consumer Horticulture Department of Horticulture Blacksburg, VA 24061 Publication 426-020 Reprinted 1995 INTRODUCTION Gardening is the number one outdoor leisure time activity of America, with 84% of households involved in at least one form of gardening activity. Gardening is a source of personal satisfac- tion and pride providing esthetic pleasure and opportunity for relief from daily stress. Gardening is an ideal preventative therapy to maintain personal well being. With a little planning and creativity, it can be available to everyone. Disabled and elderly who have never gardened can acquire a new and rewarding hobby. With proper modification to the site, gardeners who have lost physical ability can continue this valuable activity. While most gardening is considered part of the traditional land- scape or ground level planting, an increasing number of gardeners are discovering the advantages of gardening in planters, contain- ers, and raised beds. These gardening styles can be readily adapted to make gardening easier for disabled and elderly gardeners. They are equally adaptable for gardening in a small backyard, a third floor apartment patio, on top of a hospital, or on the grounds of a retirement home.

Advanced Search QuickOrder Home : Article Empty view Ease and Beauty Container Types Ease and Beauty Container gardening has become all the rage in the last few years, and it's easy to understand why. Not only does it allow you to add life and color to your windows, porch, patio, or deck, but it also lets you change the scenery several times through the gardening season, so you've always got a fresh, vibrant arrangement. Even more to the point, it's fun. Mixing and matching annuals, perennials-both tender and hardy-and herbs in various combinations is really quite satisfying, and when a combination doesn't work out exactly as you'd have liked, well, there's always another container, another season, another chance. Container gardening is forgiving. And a deck or patio covered with all sorts of containers of different sizes, shapes, and materials, is still an inspiring and delightful visual treat for you, your family, and your friends, even if all the plantings are not, in your estimation, perfect. They'll still be beautiful. There are so many different kinds of containers, though, that it can be confusing to choose. Your tastes, of course, can help you sort through the different styles. But what about materials? Plastic, wood, metal, stone, concrete, and, of course, clay, are all options.

UP ON THE ROOF Container gardening makes a great space anywhere Create a garden on a deck By Steven R. Lorton O A GARDEN ON A DECK Get creative with containers. The rooftop garden uses big glazed pots, imported from China and Vietnam, chosen for their size and bright colors. High-fired and glazed, these pots won't crack in winter. Be sure to fill them with a rich, sterile potting mix. Feed and water frequently. Plant roots quickly use up the nutrients in the small amount of soil in containers, so you have to feed often (every two weeks with half-strength liquid fertilizer) and water as soon as soil starts to dry out to keep things growing. Freely mix annuals and permanent plants.

Gardening is one of the great pleasures of summer, but digging up the backyard may not be your idea of a fun weekend. Container gardening can be a far simpler way to add decoration and vegetation to your deck, porch, balcony, or window. Of course, working with containers doesn't mean you're limited when it comes to choosing a plant. These container gardening ideas will show you just how limitless your choices can be. Potting a Plant Try moistening the soil before you remove a plant from its container. Always tip the container upside down and let the root ball slide out. Never pull a plant from the soil, as roots can easily be torn or damaged in the process. Plants with Real Get-Up-and-Go The biggest benefit to container gardening is that your plants are truly portable. When your plants are looking their very best, you can place them where they'll attract the most attention, such as on your patio or on a coffee table. You can also easily move them to a window or outside when they need more sun. If your potted plants are normally outside, you can bring them inside to protect them from harsh weather. For those of us who find it difficult to get down in the dirt on our hands and knees, container gardening is a great way to enjoy the pleasures of planting without the physical strain. Just place them on a table or countertop while you work, and you can stand or sit while tending to your plants.

Easy Container Gardening A plan for fresh vegetables even with limited space. Our plan includes tomatoes, basil, and parsley, but other possibilities are also given. Tomatoes and basil grown together enhance each other's flavor, and with this mix you'll have most of the ingredients for pesto. What you need: Large containers Good dirt Tomato plants Stakes/sticks or cages to support tomatoes Basil plants Italian flat-leaf or curly parsley Flowers (if desired) Fertilizer Other desired plants and containers 1. Buy tomato plants and dirt from a nursery , so you'll know the plants are strong. The staff at the garden store will also be able to help you select a nutrient-rich soil or growing medium and a fertilizer. Since you'll be growing in containers, the plants are dependent on the soil and the nutrients you provide for nourishment. 2. Choose your containers . Your containers will need drainage; terracotta, stone, or plastic containers will all work nicely. If you choose the 20-inch pots, you'll have room to plant things together. Self-watering pots are a good option, too. If you plan to put them away after growing season, you may want to buy containers that can be stacked for storage. 3. For drainage

Container Gardening By Susan Rafanelli/Botanica Designs Containers that grace your entryways or are seen year round may require a face-lift for wintertime. We typically use containers for spring-fall color accents using a combination of perennials and annual plants. These plants often die back during the cold winter months. Fall is a good time to revive your pots for winter removing the spindly summer annuals. Choosing from some of the following plants can not only add winter interest, but also carry through to summer and beyond. Although a mixture of container sizes creates a nice visual, the larger the container the better for all the plants involved in it. A large container holds more moisture, protects roots more and makes a bigger statement. Larger and thicker (a minimum of 1" or more) containers survive winter freezing without cracks. Move smaller containers to a sheltered area in your garden or into the garage. Please note that plants in containers require watering if they are under an eave or on a covered porch. Since plant roots are not as well insulated as they would be in the ground, very cold weather can easily kill a hardy plant that is containerized. Decide on a game plan for moving containers to a garage or protecting (wrapping with insulation of some sort) when the temperatures and wind chill dip below freezing. Evergreen Shrubs or shrubs with winter interest By choosing these evergreens, you can purchase a small 1-Gallon size and let it grow for a few years in a container. When it becomes too large, move it into your garden or find a new home for it. Those that have winter foliage interest or bloom in the winter are even more valuable. Suggested plants to use would be:
