Pot up a perfect display, including edible plants

Not everyone has the space, time, cash or experience to create a fully-planted garden with overflowin­g borders. However, cultivatin­g some of the key plants in containers is a satisfying alternativ­e, and a means of capturing the essence of a mature garden with minimum effort.

Container gardening is especially suitable for a small space such as a balcony, patio, terrace or deck because, as each display fades, it can be moved to one side, its place taken by another that’s been waiting in the wings to steal the limelight. Careful planting can reward you with year-round interest.
