Since earliest times, people have needed and enjoyed plants. Container gardening is ideal when space is limited. It is a technique which permits plant materials to be moved around easily, to be changed or renewed as desired and to be enjoyed at close range. There is no excuse not to garden, if you have a sunny window or terrace you can have a bountiful garden with very little care.
Plantings can be as simple or as elaborate as space, inclination, taste and funds permit.
By its exposure, the container garden site will dictate what will grow successfully and how to arrange the plants. Construct a screen, either of louvers or lattice, or a trellis on which to grow appropriate vines to reduce light and wind. As long as you start with the proper soil and follow a few simple guidelines, anybody can be rewarded with a garden.
