Over the last few decades, gardeners and the general public have become increasingly aware of the importance of supporting pollinators. These hardworking creatures are under threat due to habitat loss and widespread use of pesticides, and they could use help from wherever they can get it. Fortunately, if you have room for a few potted plants, you can be part of the solution. Choosing container plants that attract and feed winged wildlife is an easy and enjoyable way to get to know your local pol...

Today’s photos are from Dede Lifgren. Welcome to my garden in Brewster, New York (Zone 6a). I am an artist and garden lover. Much of my artwork centers around my garden. Or is it the other way around? Either way, I love to take full advantage of both! My pineapple columns and some potted impatiens (Impatiens walleriana, Zones 10–11 or as an annual) greet visitors at the entryway. In the main garden, trickling water can be heard from the fountain as you enter the property. A cypress (Chamaecy...

I’m Katie. I’m a proud Midwesterner, and all of these photos are from my Indiana backyard garden. By day, I am a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist. By weekend and summer, I turn full-fledged gardener and spend most of my time in my humble backyard paradise. About six years ago, I began transforming our empty, desolate, almost full-acre yard to rich, healthy ecosystems in the form of garden beds, shrubs, and trees. In addition to this, I “raise” monarchs and proudly wear ...

Today’s photos are from Cherry Ong in Richmond, British Columbia. I wanted to share with you some amazing container garden designs by Hunter Norminton. I volunteer for a local nursery. Hunter joined the nursery part-time last year (he’s a student and has no formal horticultural training but was highly influenced by his mom), and he has designed so many amazing spring and summer containers, in all sizes. He currently loves blues, and you can see this in his present summer container designs. H...

Today we’re visiting with Sharon Danovich Lupone in Pittsburgh. We’ve been to her garden before (Sharon’s Pennsylvania Garden, Part 2 and Sharon’s Pennsylvania Garden), and today she’s sharing some views of the garden is it moves into fall. As summer winds down, the blooms of the panicle hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata, Zones 3–8) take on rosey hues. Comfortable chairs invite you to sit and enjoy the garden. A pot of coleus (Coleus scutellarioides, Zones 9–11 or as an annual) give...

The formula for creating wonderful containers doesn’t need to be difficult. First, find complementary plants you like that fit your growing conditions. Next, think of each plant’s growing habit and combine contrasting habits together. There’s a reason people say that great containers have thrillers, fillers, and spillers, or upright plants, midsize plants, and cascading plants. This combination always works. Need proof? Check out this set of simple container designs that uses only three pl...
