They make your garden bigger:

Pot gardening is more versatile Growing plants in containers is a great way to expand your garden space. Pots can go anywhere: on pavement, indoors on a window sill, rooms with adequate light, a deck, up a flight of steps. You can grow plants that may not be suitable to grow in your garden soil and grow plants next to each other even though they may have different soil needs. Growing plants in containers makes gardening accessible to almost anyone including children, those with limited mobility and the elderly.

Allows you to control the soil your plants grow in:

Your garden soil may not be the greatest but when you plant in a pot, you control the soil and can provide excellent growing conditions that the soil in your garden may not have. Pots give us a dream garden of rich soil. Most of the time plants that are grown in containers have fewer problems with diseases than plants grown in the soil. Fertilising is easier. Keeping your plants well-fed is much easier when they are confined to a small area. Not as much nutrient tends to be lost or absorbed by neighbouring plants like when they are grown directly in garden beds.

Adds vertical space to your garden:

Use the wall to attach pots to the wall, increasing the space you have for gardening. Foliage cascading from pots always gives a lush feel.

Indoor gardens:

Improve air quality, health and well-being with colour, fragrance, food and ornamental plants.

Low maintenance:

Due to the small surface area, it’s unlikely weed seeds will find their way into pots. No heavy garden tools and equipment are required and save your back and money with less maintenance. Less time is spent weeding, walking and watering when plants are grouped all in one place.

Mobility:

Plants in pots can easily be moved to suit your needs or to a more suitable sunny or shady location during the day. You may Change their look: Easily vary their colour scheme. As each plant finishes flowering or fruiting, it can be replaced with another. Rearrange plants to suit the season or your personal taste.

Value addition:

Well-designed container plants placed strategically at a home’s or working space entrance can add value and make the home and working spaces more welcoming.
