Greening up the outdoors around your shipping container home brings visual appeal and productive pastimes. Containers provide versatile planting canvases requiring less space than traditional gardening while adding pops of curb appeal.

Creative Container Styles
Recycle durable vessels like wooden whiskey barrels, terra cotta pots, galvanized buckets or even sinks/tubs suspended from walls for eye-catching vertical plots.

Upcycled planters repurpose items uniquely, like classic watering cans, wicker baskets or old shoes propped on edges for succulents. Drill drainage holes before use.

Mix and Match Sizes
Incorporating containers ranging from mini 3-inch pots to huge 50-gallon garbage cans lends visual interest. Group similarly sized vessels for pollinator plots or herb gardens.

 

 

Thrift Store Finds
With drainage added to hollowed furniture, cabinet drawers or small fridges, these affordable discoveries blossom unexpectedly charming. Pressure-treat wood to prolong life outdoors.

Stack or Cascade Units
Stepping concrete blocks, brick tiers or staggered mulch mounds showcase tiered plantings when space limits spreading outward. Construct sturdy frames anchoring elevated pots securely.

Creative Edging
Define borders attractively by sinking boards, mirrors, patio pavers, coils of rope or smooth stones between containers while allowing flexibility to rearrange compositions seasonally.

Bright Plant Combinations
Vary heights and promote year-round appeal mixing bloomers, foliage, vegetables and even scented favorites customized to sunshine, soil type and personal tastes. Herbs grow simply in pots.

 

 

Consider Maintenance Factors
When choosing plants, weigh watering demands, mature sizes, and needs for support structures or pruning to ensure long-term growth remains low-fuss within busy tiny home lifestyles.
