Fine gardening magazine may be a good place for you to start. They put out a special edition each year about container gardening and a fool proof method of designing fantastic planters that will WOW your neighbors.
As far as large pots go, search your local garden centers. Stores in my area are trying to get rid of last years containers and have some for 1/2 off or better.
Try thinking outside the box or container and look for things that could be used for containers, but are not typically thought of as a container i.e. A bushel basket, an old wooden wheel barrow, a cart on wheels and old child’s wagon. Once you get a feel for what you want you could hit the yard sales and pick up some neat stuff for cheap.

Charles asks…
Is Better Homos and Gardens a good magazine to subscribe to?
I’ve been considering learning about gardening lately. My yard is beginning to look really bad since my sorry husband has stopped taking care of it like he used to. As a matter of fact he took the wrong medicine the other day and fell into one of our bushes. Now the poor bush is all ruined!! Plus the dogs in the neighborhood always come over and poo in the grass. I guess they are attracted to old man pee.
So would that be a good magazine to start reading and learning from or is there a better one for gardening? Thanks and blesses!!
