PLANTING SCHEMES FOR TROUGH GARDENS

Trough gardens are diminutive and elegant plant worlds in their own little stone space, and planting them using different themes is a fun gardening adventure. This article discusses several recipes for these gardens: using plants from your favorite country, specimens with silver leaves, single genus groupings, or plants with architectural shapes among others. Each theme-planting scheme is discussed in detail, followed by drawings that lay out the design of each trough. The article also provides an extensive list of plants suitable for trough gardening. With winter just ending this is an excellent project to get your thumb greened up again.
