Thinking of veggies for your container garden? Or planter boxes with herbs? In this episode, we look at a patio surrounded by planter boxes that are filled with red geraniums...nothing but red geraniums. Our goal? Transform this linear container garden from a continuous line of red into something varied, colourful—playful—and edible. Hear two different approaches to reimagining the planter boxes so that they’re a low-maintenance edible container garden.
