My container garden is finished, and I am pleased with the results. This garden provides me with a spot to read, have coffee or tea, chit-chat with my family, spend quiet moments with my 10 week-old son, and just to have something pretty to look at. I ended up using a combination of sun-loving and shade-loving plants since the location of our front porch/patio provides both. I think the garden is lovely, and I am very much looking forward to spending a lot of time out there. Hopefully I can continue this each spring/summer from now on.
