Getting Started - Successful Container GardeningGardening in containers is ideal for those with little or no garden space or for gardeners who are not able to tackle a large garden and the amount of physical work that it takes to maintain one. Container gardening is a good alternative for people in wheelchairs who want to garden as they can be built at optimal heights for wheelchairs. (SEE GARDENING WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TOOLBOX). The skills used in container gardening are a bit different than those learned by gardening in the ground in the traditional way. With a bit of information, imagination and encouragement, anyone can learn to use these limited spaces to grow some food, save money and have fun at the same time. It doesn’t take much to keep container plants happy. Since you control the soil, water, and light, it’s easy to provide perfect (or nearly so) growing conditions. Follow the links in the menu above for the basic keys to success.
