Container Gardening Ideas - Planters and Pots

Tired of looking for planters and pots that look the same? Designers recommend that you organize in similar colors or shapes to unify a space. A great container gardening idea is to organize your garden containers in odd groupings (sets of 3, 5, etc). We have garden containers for the modern home to the traditional.

Container Gardening Ideas and Recommendations:

• Container Gardening should begin with a pot that has a hole drilled in the bottom for drainage. This also allows the container to become freeze proof. All GardenGirl containers or pots have pre-drilled holes.
• Place a coffee filter over the hole to reduce soil dripping on to your surface.
• Water your Container Garden when the first two inches of the soil become dry to the touch.
• Use Container Garden pot feet which raise the container garden from your surface and reducing the ugly ring of dirt and grime.

Garden Girl offers a wide range of container gardening ideas including different types of fiberglass garden containers and fiberstone garden containers.
