About

 

So, what is a container gardening? Container gardening is the practice of growing plants exclusively in containers rather than planting them in the ground. Container gardens are a perfect way to bring  color to areas such as patios, porches and balconies. Pots, i.e. containers, may be any size and made of almost any material. Types of container gardens include spring and summer annuals, herbs and vegetables, holiday decorations, fairy gardens and terrarium.

 

Since 2010, Contained Beauty has created professionally-designed container gardens suited to the client's taste and environment. We are pleased to have received "Best of Houzz" desgnations in 2013 and 2014. You can view our Houzz profile here. If you'd like a free consultation to discuss your container garden needs, contact us today.

 

"I am a master gardener with a passion for container gardens of all types. To me, a container garden is a living work of art. I love sharing this beauty with others."
