No matter how small your porch or patio is, you can still change it into a beautiful garden of flowers or a crop of some of the best vegetables grown in containers. Some of the containers which you can use for this purpose include wooden barrels, planter boxes, large flower pots and even hanging baskets. As a container gardener, your imagination is your only limitation. Gardening in containers makes a lot of sense for people with little garden space but still want to engage in some gardening too.
