One of the best way to add a splash of color to our otherwise dull homes is using flowering plants. Container gardening makes it possible even with the smallest of spaces such as balconies, porches, patio, and indoors. But knowing or finding creative container gardening ideas for small spaces isn’t always easy.
That’s why we put together this list of 18 creative container garden ideas to spark your inspiration. Ready to make a bold flowery plant statement? If you have a front porch or balcony that receives a reasonable amount of sunlight, consider setting up a container garden.
A good example is planting the Creeping Jenny in a big container like shown in the picture. One of the best way to turn things around is establishing vibrant flowering plants. For extra sophistication, you can introduce several container pot planters within your hedge and plant in whatever you may prefer.
Therefore, if you a bigger tree that casts a big shadow, why not set up a nice container garden that you can easily move around once in a while. Start by assembling all the kitchen items you don’t use such as old utensils, buckets and much more. You can easily turn the steps leading to your house into a mini-container garden.
Just place your potted plants on the both side of the steps and leave the middle for ease of movement. The best way to add such striking colors is to include plants like potted geraniums to help you spice up the mood in your whole compound.
Recycling remains my all-time favorite ways of bring stuff back to life. Just like unused wheelbarrows, old carts can add a mix of rusty and exotic look in your garden. The onset of winter does not need to be the end of growing your favorite plants. People who do not have outdoor space grow plants indoors all the time.
Especially, if you select appropriate houseplants and have bigger windows to permit adequate light. One of the ideas to freshen up your home interior is using green textures and colors from natural plants such as Mother-in-laws Tongue. In addition, we can also use container pots to create different shapes while at the same time using them as planters. This container garden idea comes from an understanding of floral design principles. These are; proportion, scale, harmony, rhythm, balance, unity and emphasis. Hanging plants are another innovative way to add flowers and greenery to your patio, porch, veranda, and garden.
Some of the best plants to use include; Verbena, Hanging Fuchsia, Oxalis, Ivy geranium, Lobelia, and Blue Bacopa. In addition, you need to find a way to protect the wall from moisture.
Just go with your gut, pick one or more from the list, don’t overthink it, and start gardening!
