Everyone can enjoy container gardening. No experience is needed - no space is required. 

Are you interested in improving the quality of your life? Spending time outdoors, creating something that adds beauty or practicality to your outdoor areas is a great way to relax.

Maybe you'd like to decorate an outdoor area so that your family will use your outdoor space more and you have a place to entertain.

Perhaps you don't want to invest huge amounts of money on flowers, trees or shrubs for property that you rent?

Would you like to enjoy fresh herbs and vegetables that you grow right outside your back door?

Or maybe you are an experienced gardener who needs an easier and more accessible way to continue the hobby that you love?

If any of these describe you, I'd like to share my favorite gardening format with you. It can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter who you are, or where you live.

No space? You don't need it. No experience? Don't sweat it.

Plants can be grown that normally won't live where you do - because of climate, soil conditions, etc

Deer and rabbits won't venture onto outdoor living areas like decks, porches or patios to nibble plants. Moles cant reach them via roots or bulbs.

If you move, take your gardens with you

Few things give as much satisfaction as creating your own garden and watching it bloom.

Planting in pots or tubs or boxes allows you to do that and more - in less time and with less effort than in-ground flower beds.
