PRODUCT INFO
There are many good things about containers gardening. Containers add warmth and colour to any landscape. Best of all, if you are visiting a residence with planters sitting on the steps, you know that a gardener lives there.
You can move containers around to create a new look in your garden as often as you wish. You can create a container garden with just about any container. Read about how an old chair can be turned into a planter. How about using a tree stump or a piece of driftwood to make a planter? Read about how you can create one. Are you the patient type of gardener? Then growing a bonsai may be the perfect type of container gardening for you. Looking for a new project? Hypertufa is a man-made rock created from Portland cement, peat moss and either perlite or vermiculite. Making a hypertufa stone sink is described at length and can be used for various annuals and perennials.
Examine the generous section about general horticulture. Articles include ones on irises and lilies. Learn how to plan and create a cutting garden. There is also an article about one of the more common prairie orchids: the yellow lady slipper. With such a broad range of articles, there is sure to be something for everyone in this edition of The Prairie Garden.
