I love the idea of having an amazing garden filled with flowers and plants. Since we don’t have a big backyard full of sunlight, our options are slim, but we do have a huge pot that needs some TLC. I was researching some ideas online for what I could do, and I think I have the perfect solution. The weather the past few days has not been cooperating with me, so I haven’t been able to actually plant my flowers in my pot, but I did find some example photos of what I’d like to do and use.
Step 1.
Make the pot pretty (if you prefer) by using an outdoor paint or spray paint. I’m probably going to go with white like the one pictured below. Simple but effective.

Step 2.
Fill pot about 1/3 full with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix. This type of soil “grows plants twice as big as ordinary potting soil. Absorbs 33% more water!” You can also use Miracle-Gro Shake’n Feed All Purpose Plant Food plus Weed Preventer. This is good for using a container.
Step 3.
Figure out how you’d like to arrange your plants/flowers in your pot. Use potting soil to fill in the spaces and to make your pot look the way you’d like. After you plants your plants/flowers, you’ll want to water them, so I suggest using the LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Advance Starter Kit. This way you’ll be able to feed and water your garden at the same time.
You’re now done creating your very own garden or flower pot using Miracle Gro products! Miracle Gro has the best products to use when it comes to gardening, and I definitely always use them and I highly recommend their products to other people.
Check out the Miracle-Gro website to see what else they have available for your gardening needs!
Their Pinterest page also has a ton of cool fun garden projects for you to check out to get some inspiration, or should I say pinspiration (sorry, couldn’t help it), for your next project. And see The Gro Project on Facebook.
Check out some of my favorite project ideas below that I found on their Pinterest page:
A super cute and easy way to show off your plants! Paint some soup cans and fill with soil and your plants! Love this.
Use old (or new) watering cans for pots! Such a cute and unique way to display your plants and flowers. You could even find an old one and paint it to give your garden an extra splash of color.
