Anything can technically be a container as long as it has drainage holes and enough space for your chosen plants to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose containers that match your garden design style, like this bicycle planter for a dainty cottage garden or angular geometric planters for more modern garden designs. It&#8217;s also a great opportunity to recycle what you already have around the garden, making the space completely unique to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add some variety to your spring garden by experimenting with containers!
