Container Water Gardening caught my attention in 2007 while browsing through garden section of Lowes. I have noticed a lot of interesting tubs and great selection of reasonably priced pond plants. Becoming a homeowner and having huge patio to work with, I dove into this hobby full force. In 2007 I purchased two tubs to “test” this hobby and I was very pleased with the outcome. I applied aqua/land scaping ideas into the design and was rewarded with flowering piece of “art.”
This year I continued with Container Water Gardening. I didn’t get a chance to purchase water lilies and completely forgot to add “red” splash into the equation but overall presentation should be pleasing to the eye. I kicked-off this year at the beginning of May and here is 1 month update. Plants took off just as easily as they did last year with very little maintenance. Yesterday I have noticed more flowers and figured it was time for a photo-session. I found Pontederia cordata “Pickerel Weed”, Myosotis scorpioides “Forget-Me-Not”, and Cana flowering. Obviously those flowers are still very small and this is just the beginning. I should report back in a month hopefully with a lot more … Enjoy your summer !
