The next stop on our tour is the Container Garden. This area is filled with raised beds (some accessible for people with physical disabilities) and planters of all designs, shapes, and sizes.

Our planters run the gamut from a pair of common work boots to 3-towering cylinders covered in blooms to old watering cans to an unused golf bag and cart servicing as a garden tool hauler. Our lumbering “pot-gal” (a human-like form constructed out of various sized clay pots) keeps a watchful eye over the collection.

These displays offer a visual guide to enable everyone, even those with physical limitations, restricted space or budgets, to plant up their own little slice of paradise.
