One Plant, a Garden in a Box

It has occurred to me that a single attractive container plant at a doorway or on a porch or balcony is enough to make a garden.

Container Gardening...

The idea was strengthened one hot August afternoon when I saw a tub of Black Prince fuchsia gracing a simple colonial doorway. Similarly, the container garden might even comprise two specimen plants, as urns with clipped yews or clumps of geraniums.

Growing plants in containers is a distinctive form of gardening. It is particularly appealing because the plants can be moved about for a change of picture and mood. But it also has an architectural quality lacking in plants that are grown in the open ground.

What garden sight is more delightful than a flight of stairs bedecked with pots of fiery red geraniums? Or what compares to a pool re-flecting great blue hydrangeas in tubs or urns or to win­dow boxes overflowing with petunias high above the city streets.

In recent years, growing plants in movable or immov­able containers such as pots and tubs, window and plant boxes, planters, and hanging baskets has developed into a new gardening concept.

In part, this is due to contemporary architecture, which presents numerous opportunities for the display of container plants around house and garden.

Patios and terraces, paved walks, paths and driveways, planters, raised beds, and retaining walls are character­istic at today's new homes. Sun decks, barbecue areas, garden shelters, swimming pools, tennis courts and ponds with waterfalls may all be graced with containers and all manner of plants.
