Tips for your garden in a container

Establish the Size of Your plants when fully grown.

You will need to take into account the mature size of the plants you plan on growing and their growing habits. Upright growing plants will need a wide base for balance. Sprawling plants will need a container deep enough to drape over.

The root systems of growing plants will fill the pot and absorb water more quickly, so make sure that there is plenty of room for the roots to move downward into soil.

Clay & Stone Containers

Terra cotta: Porous and dries out quickly plus many are not frost-resistant. However they come in many shapes & sizes and can add a traditional feel to any garden.

Stone and Concrete: Good for maintaining soil temperature and moisture as they absorb heat from the sun. Concrete & Stone containers can be left out over winter & act as good insulators. The downside is that the pots tend to be very heavy and difficult to move however they are great if you have kids or dogs as they are difficult to knock over.

Communicate your personality through colorful pots & containers

Pots & Containers come in many different colors so why settle for dull simple containers when you can go wild with co lour and let your creative side take control.

Co lour makes us feel happy, energized, and warm, or it can create a cool aloofness, portray dignity or show reserve. Color evokes our emotions, stimulates our intellect & effects our moods, so don't hold back when choosing the colors of your garden containers.
