Do you long to add a touch of natural beauty to your outdoor space with thriving plants but lack the time, equipment, and room to cultivate a traditional garden? If so, a container garden may be the perfect solution! With the proper containers, plants, and maintenance, you can transform porches, patios, and even windowsills into BLOOM-ing beauties!

• Bountiful plant selection. Choose plants based on your climate, growing zone, and how many hours of direct sunlight the space receives each day.
• Lush arrangement techniques. For potted arrangements, remember the formula Thrill, Fill, Spill. For eye-catching designs, combine a plant with height (thrill), a plant that expands quickly (fill), and a plant that cascades over the container (spill).
• Oxygenated roots. Use containers with drainage holes on the bottom to promote good airflow to the plant’s roots and help prevent bacteria from thriving in wet soil.
• Organic food. Make compost from organic materials and add it to the soil regularly to help your plants thrive.
• Maintenance routines. Make plant care part of your daily routine. If you have a hard time remembering to water, prune, or propagate, set a reminder on your phone.
