Title: Container gardening – what plants to grow and how to care for them
Post by: Fleur Pavlidis on May 07, 2015, 09:43:21 PM

A new page has just been posted on the MGS website for anyone like David Dickinson who gardens in containers on a balcony, terrace or patio. Past articles from The Mediterranean Garden, including a series by the editor Caroline Harbouri are collected together to create a useful source of information. Cactus and succulent growing is also covered and there are contributions from our own Hilary and Trevor, which I hope they will enjoy seeing again, as well as notes from a Greek cactus expert, Stavros Apostolou. If you have any personal experiences of container growing which would be similarly useful I’d be glad to add them to the page.

Hi Fleur,

Just arrived home at 02.30 a.m. so not had chance to read the new page on container gardening yet. Just wanted to thank you for starting this initiative and can't wait to have a first look tomorrow morning (this morning!). Thanks so much :-)

How exciting. I will try to restrain myself and keep my container gardening memoirs until the summer when I will have less to say about spring
