Container Gardening

Making container gardens is both art and science. The art is creating the various looks and the science is growing and keeping the plants alive. These are a few of the pictures from an open air mall in Walnut Creek, California.


A bright colorful flower group.


A simple flower pot with beautiful color.


The pots have plants that are growing taller.


Now the plants in the pots are turning into animals.


A two tier floral and foliage display.


A large planter with plants formed as a snake.


A nice variety of colorful flowers.


My personal choice of color and floral variety from two pots side by side.

Maybe the above pictures will stimulate your creative ideas. If you see or grow your own interesting pot gardens, please share. All of the photos shown are actual size taken with a Blackberry Bold phone camera.

Happy Gardening,
