2. Introduction
• Full-season container displays:
– Add versatility to residential gardens both large
and small.
– Provide an opportunity to be creative.
– Lend instant color throughout the season.
– Give you the flexibility to plant anything,
anywhere.
– Provide focal points in the garden.
3. Be Creative
Container displays offer four seasons of fun
and creativity. Use unusual containers to
add interest and color. Repurpose, reuse,
and reinvent what it means to garden in
containers. Change out the displays in your
containers frequently during the growing
season. The possibilities are endless!
4. Extend the Gardening Season for
Color and Interest
Spring containers bring a vibrant splash of
color to your garden just when you need it
most – after a long winter.
During the cold and dreary months
of January and February, winter
containers can cheer up a home
landscape as well as the spirit!
5. Garden Anywhere, Anyhow, with Anything
Use container gardens to
brighten your porch, deck, or
patio. Cluster containers to
display your favorite plants.
Gardening in containers is perfect for those with
little or no garden space, especially in big cities
like Chicago. In addition to growing flowers,
gardeners with little space and a small patch of
sun can grow a variety of vegetables and herbs.
6. Add Focal Points and Interest to the Home
Landscape Design
Place them on the ground or on a pedestal, mount
them on a windowsill, or hang them from your porch.
Dress up fences and gates.
Add instant curb appeal by
using seasonal container
displays by the front entrance.
