When planting a container garden the first thing to focus on is the pot. Buy the nicest ones you can afford because the containers are part of the display. Don’t have a lot of money? No problem!
Gardening pots go on sale at the end of the gardening season. This is always a good time to stock up on the gardening supplies you need. What I do is buy everything I need when it is on clearance, even the plants. I get them all planted and leave them in the house throughout the winter. Not only will you have fuller pots in the spring but also you had the benefit of fresher air in your house throughout the winter.
If it’s the middle of gardening season then get yourself some spray paint and have fun! With the amazing technology of spray paint that sticks to plastic you can buy the pots at a discount store and still have awesome looking pots when you are done.
Next focus on the plants you want. Make sure you have tall plants, short plants, and vine plants. Either mix a combination of all three in all of the pots or one type per pot. If you do one type per pot then make sure the pots with the bigger plants are in back. Try to find plants with different colors and contrasting textures, this will give your garden more interest.
When setting up the pots for display try putting some of them on stools and chairs. You want to give them different heights. Container gardens do not look very nice when it’s just a bunch of pots sitting on the ground.
