Container Gardening - Beginner Tips For Patio Style

by Kent Higgins

If you're new to gardening and would like to add style, color, or a welcoming vibe to your deck or patio, container gardening can be an easy way to accomplish this. You can even add roses or other plants to boxes in windows. Natural sanctuaries can bloom anywhere with container gardens. By using containers, gardens can be cultivated practically anywhere.

When planning your garden, you should choose colors that compliment each other. Also, the plants should vary in height and appearance. Variety is good for container gardens. To make your garden colorful for a longer portion of the year, make sure you choose plants that bloom at different times of the year.

You can grow these plants in almost any kind of container. Examples are pots, urns, bowls, or antique bathtubs. You should take the ambiance and style of the area where the plants and containers will be before you choose the containers. The following suggestions will help you choose the correct arrangements for different areas.

With a large house, porch area, and a front door that stands out, you want to avoid having two of the same pots, one on each side of the door. It is better to have pots randomly arranged in front of one part of the door. For some reason, an odd number of pots look better than an even number. Even one, well thought out and placed pot, can look great. Adding one more pot to make an even number would hurt the arrangement. Adding one more pot to that would fix the problem, etc.

Be creative in your container selection and placement. If you pay attention to the space you have available and the style that you want to create, you can create a beautiful space for you and guests to admire.

This odd plant can also be used indoors and out on the deck or patio and made him more curious about plants and their care.
