container gardening

Growing in pots

Container gardening is growing plants in pots, boxes, or other vessels rather than in the ground.

It suits small spaces like balconies and patios, allows control over soil conditions, and makes plants portable: Container gardening lets apartment dwellers grow tomatoes on a fire escape.

The practice ranges from a few herbs on a windowsill to elaborate arrangements of ornamental plants.
