Container gardening · Grow where you are
Make room
for something fresh.
A patio, a sunny corner, or a little backyard space can be the beginning of your next garden. Grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers in containers—with local guidance to help you get started.
Start small. Learn as you grow.
Three things to choose first.
01 / Your space
Find your growing spot.
Look at the sunlight your space receives, access to water, and room to reach your plants. Match the location to the needs of the crops you want to grow.
02 / Your plants
Grow with the season.
Start with vegetables, herbs, or flowers you enjoy. Our Central Florida planting schedule helps you plan what to plant and when.

Give roots room.
Choose a system that fits your plants and space. Follow its recommended plant quantity and layout, leaving room for growth and any supports.

A system to grow with
Meet the EarthBox way.
An EarthBox brings a growing container, water reservoir, fill tube, and mulch cover together in one system. Follow the setup instructions for the right potting mix, fertilizer placement, and planting layout.
Once planted, check the reservoir regularly, add water through the fill tube, and keep an eye on your plants as they grow.
