bee in flowerGrowing edible plants in containers and raised beds has a lot of benefits for urban and suburban gardeners growing in small spaces. If you have problems with poor soil, gophers or other pests, gardening in containers may be a good alternative to growing directly in the ground. Explore the different types of containers and raised beds suitable for the place where you live. Learn about building your own containers, vertical gardening, the types of plants to grow where you live, including annual and perennial fruits and vegetables, as well as soil and amendments, and long-term care for plants and trees in containers.
