Peter Dowdall: Container gardening brings the dullest space to life

Containers have a place in every garden and home

Raised beds can be an excellent way to flank a patio or paved area. 

Container gardening has become huge over the last few years. There are of course many reasons for this. Many of us now don’t have an actual garden and can only grow in pots and containers.

Another reason for the popularity of container gardening which becomes quickly apparent as we age and begin to suffer from that twinge in the back is that the higher the containers and raised beds are, the easier they are to tend.
