Whether its succulents on the front porch or a bonsai on the patio table…there’s a container for every job, and a job for a container in almost every garden.Containers are ideal for growing edibles or ornamentals, that special cutting that an old friend gave you, or the seedling your kid brought home from school.
Plus, taking care of a container can be a lot less daunting than caring for a huge garden, and containers are pretty versatile too.
