Container Gardening; Portable Beauty

Spring is here, and container gardening is the ideal solution for small spaces or weed free gardening!


An old or outgrown pair of rain boots is a fun and inventive container for wildflowers. Fill the boot with soil,  to  2/3 up the leg. Toss in some wildflower seeds, cover with soil, and water. Keep the soil moist, but not too wet. House in a sunny place like deck or porch steps and in a few weeks, you'll have beautiful flowers.
Cement has recently become a  trendy material for molding outdoor planters. Create a stunning vignette, by grouping together an odd number of  cement planters in various shapes and sizes, filled with colorful annuals and hostas.

Hostas are wonderful plants for containers. They are shade loving and are available in an large array or color combinations, textures  and sizes. Layer several varieties in pots, as shown above, for a beautiful, portable display of color that will last all summer!
