Container gardens easy to maintain and a joy to look at

18.05.12

Best of all, the container gardener can have a mini garden of colorful flowers and easy-to-grow, plant-and-pick herbs and vegetables with little outdoor space.

A balcony, a deck or porch that receives a minimum of sunlight allows for easy access to edibles, and brings pleasure of color and fragrance to the gardener.

A visit last week at Sun City Hilton Head with members of the Container Club found me gathering pots of plants -- both store-bought and propagated by me -- for a "show and tell."

The Container Club is a division of the Sun City Avant Garden Club, a large, active group that has formed smaller, special interest groups that meet regularly to learn more about bonsai, houseplants, herbs, orchids and Lowcountry gardening.

GETTING STARTED

I often get carried away in the fall when cooler weather reminds me that it is time to take cuttings of those plants that performed well throughout the blistering hot days of July and August, but have grown too large to bring indoors for the winter months.
