It can add beauty, especially if your containers or planters come in different sizes as well as designs and colors. It is also convenient since you can easily transfer the plants.

  1. Hello Samantha,

    I am Stephanie from Steph’s Green Space and I do container gardening 🙂 Love the re-purposed containers in the first picture a lot. They are really pretty.

    You have a great day!

  2. I’m definitely a container gardener because I’m just “starting out,” I have limited space, and I don’t have the time to take care of more than four plants at a time. :p I definitely want to have a bigger garden in the future. I envy those who can grow herbs!
