City Gardening

Gardening in a big city presents its own unique challenges, but a little creativity goes a long way when plants are restricted to small spaces. As container plant expert Dave Portell explains, one of the most important considerations in a terrace garden is weight. It's essential to avoid overloading surfaces with heavy containers that will damage the structure. Consider using a variety of smaller eye-catching plants instead of larger traditional varieties that require massive pots. Try to avoid grouping weightier plants in the same area.
