You may not have the space or patience to become an expert gardener, but anyone can feel like a professional when using container gardens.

It’s a cinch—you need a container, potting soil, and some plants. Now you’re ready to go. Gardening is easy when thinking about it this way.

From fall container gardening to hanging container gardening—we’ve got tons of ideas for you.

Your container garden doesn’t need to be limited to lush greenery matched with potting soil and a classic planter, either.

A water garden in a vase can allow you to add unique décor to your home’s outdoor living space, and they’re actually surprisingly easy to maintain.

If that doesn’t suit your container gardening aspirations, we have even more picks for you to choose from—which include everything from green walls and succulent gardens to ivy topiaries and window boxes.

Ahead, we share all of our container garden ideas to make for your next creative project.
