container gardens

Gardens in pots

Container gardens are plants grown in pots, boxes, planters, or other vessels rather than directly in the ground.

The approach suits balconies, patios, and small spaces where traditional gardening isn't practical.

Container gardens allow control over soil conditions and make it easy to move plants for optimal sun or protection from weather: She keeps a container garden of herbs on her apartment windowsill.
