Gardening is an Expression of You! It allows you to express yourself, choose your palette of Colors, and make a Beautiful Design of Live Living Art as Your Masterpiece!

 It also gives you the Freedom to utilize Your Own Creativity as it is ever changing through each Season.

So, You Always have a New Canvas to work on. Now, how FuN is that?

   

Rustic Gardening is more than just using an Old Bucket. It involves three Keys that I think are Vital to bringing a Garden to Life. 

Before you begin, you need to pick out the Containers that are most appealing to You! Once you find what works best for you, then consider size and area as well before you purchase. Also, don't limit  yourself by thinking Gardening is only for Outside...bring the Outside In! Especially during the Fall and Cold Winter Months...enjoy your Indoor Garden!

The Three Keys to Gardening with a Rustic Flavor are:

  • Depth
  • Dimension
  • Light

If you look at a Primitive Bucket, or an Old Concrete Urn...it's not flat. It has Depth, Dimension, and Light. Just like a Painting, there is Depth, Dimension, and Light that can give your Garden that Special Flavor! Anyone can set a Bucket on the Ground, but why not Hang it, Tilt it, Angle it? What about an Old Wire Basket? You can hang it at an Angle on a Door or Wall, Fill it with Fresh Florals and use it as a Center Piece on your Garden Table!

Try a Small Chicken Feeder or a Fire Bucket like pictured above. We carry all types of Unique Containers for use Indoors and Outdoors.

If you look at the Picture, there is Depth, Dimension, and Light. This concept can be used with any Container that you choose. Notice the Shape, the Lighting, and the Dimension that you can see! In addition to this, I hung another similar piece just below it to the right side...which added even more Depth n' Dimension! By tilting, angling, setting containers together of different heights, using different textures, metals, the Three Key Factors for Your container garden can be created.

Feel free to browse our The Weathers Channel, our Ebay Store for Ideas on Rustic Containers!

Remember, that Containers are not only for Florals! Herbs can be grown inside as well! Here are a few Herbs that can grow at home: Basil, Borage, Caraway, Chives, Garden Cress,  Loveage, Lemon Balm, and more!

Just be sure that the Container that you choose is deep enough to hold the Soil needed for the roots to grow. If the container doesn't have drainage holes, put a layer of Creekstones in the Bottom to keep the Roots from getting too wet. Or, you can have holes put in the container for you. 

Now, get your Creative Juices flowing and get started....One Pot at a Time!
