Container gardening is an excellent choice when a garden plot isn't an option, such as when living in an apartment with only a patio or balcony. But even if you have a large yard, growing plants in containers overcomes many landscape challenges such as compacted soil, poor drainage, and competition with tree roots.

We've heard of mood boards for designing rooms, but not for planters. If this is the trick to get fall container gardens as gorgeous as hers, we'll be trying it. | |||
