Specialty Crop

Planting flowers (including pollinators), vegetables, herbs, small fruits, and other plants in containers is a great way to add splashes of color to homes, offices, and landscapes; to provide habitat for bees and other pollinators; and to produce fresh produce in small spaces.

Container gardens are also ideal for those who have physical impairments, but still like to garden. Most herbaceous plants, and even some dwarf shrubs and trees, can be successfully grown in containers. Those and related topics are covered in this UW Extension bulletin.
