    These are great tips. I have tried container gardens many times and failed just as many! Thriller, spiller and filler is a great thing to keep in mind. It's a lot like interior design with plants and I love the idea of using separate pots since I'm always looking for landscaping around our free form pool. Thank you,j

    Love this series! Wish I had found curious.com a couple of weeks ago when I started potting plants. Now I know and can go back and fix mistakes!

    Just getting started with a container garden on my new patio. Thought I would have to wait until spring until I found your series. So excited. Must go to plant store.
