Want some color, but really don't want to commit to such a large area? Container gardening allows for such versatility. Using containers, gardens may be added to patios, balconies, courtyards, boat docks, window-boxes, the deck of boats, rooftops,  or along sidewalks. They are convenient in many ways because they can provide: 

• More variety: It is easy to grow plants that may not be suitable to grow in your garden soil and grow plants next to each other even though they may have different soil needs.

• Accessibility: Growing plants in containers makes gardening accessible to almost anyone including children or those with limited mobility.

• No weeding: Due to the small surface area, the need for weeding is less likely.

• No heavy garden tools and equipment: Saves your back and money with less maintenance.

• Mobility: Easily moved to suit your needs or to a more suitable location during the day.

• Change your look: Easily vary your color scheme.  As each plant finishes flowering or fruiting, it can be replaced with another.

• Flexibility: Rearrange plants to suit the season or your personal taste.

• Control space invaders: Vigorous growers like mints and bamboo that are too invasive if let loose in the garden do well in containers, but will take over an in-ground garden.

• Portable: Take your garden wherever you go! 

• Fewer disease problems: Most of the time, plants that are grown in containers have fewer problems with diseases than plants grown in the soil.

• Fewer pesky pests: Insects that move from plant to plant in the garden are less likely to discover plants on a balcony, verandah, or deck.  Even if a problem is detected, you can isolate affected plants by relocating the pot until the problem is under control.

• Fertilizing is easier:  Keeping your plants well-fed is much easier when they are confined to a small area.  Not as many nutrients tend to be lost or absorbed by neighboring plants like when they are grown directly in garden beds.

• Time and labor saving: Less time is spent weeding, walking, and watering when plants are grouped all in one place.
