Containers & Small Gardens - A Perfect Match

From Marie Iannotti, your Guide to Gardening

Container gardening has become a discipline of its own. There is just about nothing that can't be grown in a pot, so there's no longer any excuse not to garden. Right? Whether your whole garden consists of containers or whether you use them as accents, the choice of pots and plants makes creating a container garden a game. You can even swap plants out during the growing season, as one fades and a new one is needed to replace it.
Containers can get lost in large gardens, but it's easy to make one the focal point of a small space. Or, as I mentioned, the whole garden. If you're still hesitant about committing yourself to a garden, but want to enjoy some flowers nearby, a cluster of containers on your driveway is enough to initiate you into the world of small space gardens.
