Planters and pots offer several advantages, making them a popular choice for garden lovers. 

Style Power

Container gardens and planters come in assorted styles, sizes, materials and finishes. With a multitude of options available, they allow you to use their unique style to enhance your outdoor decor while creating a customized, cohesive and complementary addition to the scene.

Versatility

Planters and pots suit most any space and design. They can be used on porches, patios
and decks, as well as tucked into garden spaces to create an unexpected focal point. They can also be moved for seasonal exposure, events and enjoyment. 

Soil Quality and Drainage Control in Container Gardens

Container gardens allow you to control the type and quality of soil mix you use, and most feature drainage holes to enable you to manage soil moisture and aeration.

Easy Maintenance for Container Gardens

In comparison to in-ground gardens, a pot’s confined space and limited plantings make it easier to prune, deadhead, weed and generally care for its contents. Plus, pots’ raised heights make them easier to access and can help protect them from in-soil pests and diseases. 

Seasonal Flexibility

You can swap out the plants from season to season, changing the look and style of your outdoor space with minimal effort. Showcasing eye-catching foliage, as well as flowers, makes a big seasonal impact.

Space Maximization in Container Gardens

Planting container gardens allows you to make a big style statement in compact outdoor spaces as well as in landscapes with bad soil. What’s more, grouped containers, stacked pots and hanging baskets provide multiple ways to create garden spaces in small outdoor areas.
