A Guide to Container Gardening: Flowers & Foliage
These plants can be enjoyed anywhere and to give them the best possible environment, we need to know their various requirements that are a must for success. Design methods can also highlight individual plants.
Additional Information
Space does not have to limit your gardening. Flowers and foliage plants can be grown and enjoyed in all types of containers. To give our plants the best possible microhabitat, first we must learn what each plant needs. Maintaining these containers means knowing the requirements for light, water, sun, and fertilizer for each plant. Containers come in an endless amount of sizes, colors, & shapes that can be used, so you are sure to find something that will work for you!
Restrictions:
Availability: Anytime BUT limited daytime availability during months of March through June (I work at a Garden Center)
