Build a vertical container garden on a sunny wall along your porch, patio, or balcony.
You might want to add some shelves to hold smaller pots, some hooks to hold hanging baskets, and a small table to give extra gardening surfaces or layers.
Having a sunny patio can be a godsend when planning a container garden.
The great part of designing a container garden is that you can truly be as creative as you want to be.
You can recycle containers already on hand, or purchase colorful plastic or ceramic, or stately cement or glazed containers as desired.
Don't forget that old wheelbarrow, barrel, or washtub gathering dust in your garage.
