Container Gardening!!

Container gardening is the practice of growing plants in containers instead of planting them in the ground.  This dates back to thousands of years to ancient cultures like Greek and Rome. Container gardening is also known as pot gardening, gardening in pots, container garden, box gardens, balcony gardening, etc.
Some positive aspects of container gardening are:

• Container gardening makes it easier to save seeds used to create future plants or share with other gardening enthusiasts.
• Container garden are great for beginners. If things do not work out or the plants die, no one has to patch and re-seed the lawn.
• A lawn is not needed. So, lots of extra work is avoided.
• It is much easier to treat plants in a container garden for pests because it is less likely to all other plants in the garden.
• Neighborhood pets off the leash are less likely to trample through a container garden. Deer, rabbits and other wildlife are less likely to dine on plants in the container garden.

Here are few tips for container gardening:

• Fun Container:

This vintage wheelbarrow held annual flowers during the summer. When temperatures fall, it gets a wintry update with branches of noble fir, Port Orford cedar, dried eucalyptus and winterberry holly.

Though howling winds, ice and snow are formidable enemies, many arrangements can last all winter. To be safe, we have to insert plastic liner pots that are one inch smaller than the container to prevent the chance of it cracking as temperature fluctuate.

• Bursts of color:

 

The multihued arrangement sings with gold and orange accents. Rose hips, yellow dogwood branches, dried astilbe, goldenrod and bittersweet combine with Fraser fir, juniper and 'Stoneham gold' cedar branches.

Mist berries before hand with a commercially available wax spray to lock in moisture and keep them on their branches throughout the season. To keep the stems hydrated, we should use water-soaked floral foam.

• Bountiful bowl:

 

 

Layer pinecones, rose hips, dried pomegranates, sweetgum podes and moss for this easy look.
For this, we have to use materials from our garden first, and then, for the others shown in the picture, it is available at the craft stores or from the florist.

• Welcoming wall:

 

 

A wire wall container, lined with moss and filled with florist foam, showcases Fraser fir, burgundy died eucalyptus, purple caspia, winterberry holly and poppy pods.
This consists of the mixing of live and dried materials, because they are fragrant and tactile.We should snip late-season flowers, such as hydrangea, allium and astilbe, and preserve them by drying in a warm place. At the end of September, we should stop deadheading roses, spurring them to produce colorful rose hips, which can be used in winter containers.

However, despite of all the above tips, we can make it our own way too. Everyone has different ideas and different ways to decorate their garden. So, don't be afraid to reflect your unique personality when making your own container garden.
