Container garden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A container garden is a garden made up entirely of plants growing in pots or other growing containers. In some cases, this method of growing is used for ornamental purposes. This method is also useful in areas where the soil is unsuitable for the plant or crop in question. Limited growing space can also make this option appealing to the gardener.

Many types of plants are suitable for the container, including decorative flowers, herbs, vegetables, and small trees.

Container gardens can vary in size from a few small pots, to rows of irrigated pots. They can be found on porches, front steps, and in urban locations, on rooftops.
