Container and Rooftop Gardening

The rewards gained from container and rooftop gardening can be just as great as those obtained from a 'regular' garden, but these specialized environments bring with them additional issues that need to be addressed in order for your plants to thrive.

For example, particular attention needs to be paid to the water and nutrient requirements of the plants that you select. Matching these requirements with the time you can spend on your garden will probably influence your choice of plants to use.

Container gardening is also very relevant in a civic gardening context. The appearance of barren urban spaces can be transformed with the application of appropriate planting. It can also present a wonderful way to engage the skill and enthusiasm of a broad spectrum of the local community towards a common goal.
