While our focus was on container garden displays, we've also included 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!

Container Garden Pictures

Below is a great example that proves a container can have basically one color.

Hibiscus and Calibrachoa, pink and purple! Click for full description and care advice

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 display has done. Click for full description and care advice.

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. Click for full recipe and care ideas.

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. Click for full recipe!

Growing herbs and fruit in containers is very easy. Click for full description

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! Click for description.

Containers Used In a traditional garden. Click to identify each plant type

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! Click to see the identity of all the plants.

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 its 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! Click the garden photo or this link for full recipe and care ideas.
