Container Gardening Ideas

Container gardening is so popular today. What makes it so interesting is anyone can have that little bit of sunshine even on a small scale, large scale and planted in anything you can find for a container. How awesome is that! I tend to go for any vintage or junk container and love to see other ideas from awesome sites on the internet, just driving in neighborhoods and in the country to see what other people have used for container gardening.
But what about Silver Dollar City Theme Park, near Branson, Missouri. Yes, my kids, grandkids and my husband are roller coaster addicts, but me, no I go for the beautiful gardens. The gardens are so well groomed and colorful, I enjoy walking around the park and enjoying all the beauty. The funnel cakes and a bench are pretty awesome, too.
Combination of several different plants in all sort of containers.
Container gardens don't always need to be a flowering plant.
Just single plants in interesting containers are also fun.
Containers can be found at flea markets or antique malls. You could buy new containers at farm and feed stores and junk them up by knocking off some of the paint and letting them rust. You might be surprised what you find in your own home that could be used for a container garden.
Silver Dollar City amusement park is shaded by huge beautiful trees, so most of the plants are shade tolerant varieties.

    I have my great grandma's copper kettle that they made kethup in over the fire. I have planted flowers in it but don't do well? Are there only certain flowers that will grow in a copper container?

    my inlaws have those tubs laying outside their house and I am glad I flew in to visit and didn't drive because I'd be seriously tempted to "clean up " their yard lol
