Garden Photos can be the fuel in our gas tanks. They can power our designs and creative side more than anyone can imagine.
Everybody's heard a picture is worth a thousand words. So that's why we've included many different container garden pictures to drive our minds into creativity.
We've tried to include several container garden pictures, BUT....several traditional garden photos where planters are included. These pictures are included because many of us forget the value of adding containers to our landscape design. When nothing else will suffice, planters can fill in gaps and spaces where color or design is needed.
So always think about including them when and wherever you can. Balconies, patios, poolsides, along with porches and sidewalks are all superb places you can add containers. Try incorporating aquatic plants in and around your garden fountains and water features. Click here to learn more about Container Water Gardens.

Good Luck and Enjoy!!
Below is a great example that proves a container can have basically one color.
The pink color is the perfect "icing on the cake". BUT , a container CAN HAVE only one color!! Color combinations from various flowers are wonderful, but oftentimes one can make a great statement...as this photo has done.
With the picture to the right, what I find so appealing about this container combination, is the choice of "soft" colors.
The light pink and white blooms really pop out against the background of green foliage.
I'm a HUGE Canna fan. Don't be afraid to use Cannas in containers. They are terrific. This is a nice show of the thriller, filler, and spiller method. The Canna makes a gorgeous thriller. I love the purple accent from the Potato Vine as it "spills" over the side.
This is an interesting display of Herbs. Goes to show you that even a Container Herb Garden can add value to a Patio Design , while filling the old stomach!!!!
Not a bit of color other than green....and I still like it!
The biggest thing I want us to see here, is that Containers can add a tremendous amount of value to the traditional garden space. You almost don't notice the pots, but look and you'll see them. They would provide such a vast array of diversity in any garden. Great fillers in any space!!
Not to sound like a "broken record", but with the picture to the right, what I find eye-catching, is the transition between garden and container garden. The container blends so naturally with it's surroundings, that it all seems as one...even though there are two distinct forms of gardening.The color of the planter is what makes it happen!!
