Container Gardening

Enhancing the Value of Your Home
Spring is an active time in the real estate market. Agents are busy with open houses and showings as people move across town and across the country. Homebuyers are searching for that perfect new home for their family, while home sellers look for ways to make their house stand out from others on the market.

Green Spaces or Parking Lots
"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." Today green space continues to disappear—turned into another mall, fast-food restaurant or subdivision. To counter this assault on the environment, it is important that an appreciation of the outdoors is nurtured in adults and children.

Veggies in Containers
Gardening in a container is much like gardening in the ground; think of it as simply using a smaller "plot." No need for a large yard to enjoy your own garden of edible delights.

Versatile Containers
One of the most versatile and easy ways to grow bushels of colorful annual flowers is in containers. The fast-growing popularity of "color bowls" is proof positive that Americans like container growing, whether they do it themselves or have someone else prepare it for them.
