Grow a Container Garden
Grow a container garden! Yep! That’s what I said. Why? Well, I can think of a multitude of reasons you might want to do so, but most of them come back to my belief that growing plants in soil, even if you don’t have a yard, is good for the soul. You know, the human species has been connected to the land a lot longer than it has been connected to the cell phone. We need contact with the planet however we may be able to make that happen.
Here are a few other reasons you may be interested in growing a container garden.
- You live in an apartment or condominium. You don’t have a yard in which you can plant a garden. On this blog, I am going to show youi the ways that you can use the space available on your balcony, patio, or front entrance way to grow plants that are beautiful an might even feed you fresh produce.
- You have a house, but it is on a small lot. Perhaps the little bit of yard you do have is covered with brick or concrete, something all too common in urban environments. I’m going to suggest ways to cover those hard surfaces with beautiful plants and decorative containers.
- You have neither the tools or time to dig up sections of a yard, plant a lawn, flower garden or vegetable garden. Large garden plots are time consuming and can definitely require a major physical effort.
- You are physically unable to dig and rake and hoe a large garden plot, but you can put soil in a pot or planter and sow seeds or place bedding plants.
If any of these reasons have prevented you from experiencing the benefits and enjoyment of growing plants. whether flowers or vegetables, even though you have been longing to do so, you have come to the right place. In the coming days and weeks, I am going to teach you how to grow a container garden. You’ll learn about plants, soil, and the best containers in which to grow them. All that . . . and much much more.

May there peace in your garden . . .
