Container Gardening Pictures

Use our pictures to help sort through color combinations, design options , and even what size and shape container would look best for your unique situation.

On a previous photo page , I suggested printing the page so the picture can be right in front of you. I still think that is a great way to keep any idea you have, fresh in the "old memory". On the print-out, make any notes of thoughts or ideas as they come to you. Lest you be as I, and forget ever too quickly.

Take charge of your design, and let the dreams come to life. With everything from birdcages to boots, one can add attractive pieces of art and treasures to any Container Garden....with superb and eye-catching results.

The sky is the limit....let's get to flyin'!!!

Container Gardening Pictures can present an awesome amount of visual feedback that we can use in the design of our gardens.

To the left is a whimsical display that everyone can enjoy. Simply sliding an old birdcage over an existing container is a neat way to spice up a "plane-jane" look.

If you desire such an effect, one might be wise to locate the birdcage first, then buy a container that will match it's diameter.

To the right, an elegant display that is sure to add beauty and elegance to any home. This striking blue is a great eye-catcher and is sure to make the neighbors talk.

The palm branches are a classic touch and makes for a wonderful display atop the mammoth blue container!!

Amidst the arbor in the background, we can see how placing pots strategically throughout the landscape can reveal a much grander garden.

Often, one can change out containers much easier than plantings in the soil, so........

Always add planters to your garden when possible. They can fill in the gaps better that anything I know.

If your landscape lends itself to do so, try to place colorful containers in front of wooded areas.

Wooded areas most often sport one main color....Green!!

Placing pots with some good color in front of these areas, such as the photo to the right shows, can really make the color in the container more vibrant....not to mention, the scenery of the wooded area becomes more pleasing to view!!

Try to use containers in grouping at all possible.

It took me a few years to realize that two is better that one...and three can be better than two.

A cluster of planters will show a fuller and more grand display than a single.

Tree branches are used here to achieve a unique appearance.

Often container gardeners can enjoy the use of such objects incorporated into their designs.

Dead tree branches wouldn't be considered for much of anything else, but as you can see, they add a more earthy touch to what would be just a "normal" container display.
