Spring is here and that means it’s time to start thinking about what to plant in my garden containers and re-doing the little flower bed off my back porch. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HGTVGardens.com.

Awesome Garden Inspiration
I personally love all of the photo galleries and inspiration from others.
You can save your inspiration photos to an album to help keep everything organized and all in one place. I have already created a photo album for all of the container gardening inspiration pictures that I like. It is exactly what I need to organize the ideas and to help me decide how to layout, design and choose the right plants for the containers on my porch.
Some of my saved ideas are:
How to start and herb seedling garden. (My kids are enjoying watching the growing process.) I can’t wait until the seedlings are ready for transplant.
I found this fabulous planter picture and saved to my album so I can recreate it later.
I love the idea of using wooden crates for planters. I even already have this container in my stash!
How to make a square foot garden.
Garden Path ideas. This design is totally doable and would blend in to our natural hill country setting. I can’t wait to get started!
Plant Zone Finder. The plant finder allows you to search a large data base of plants that will grow well in your area/climate zone. You can filter your results based on plant type, light, and water needs as well as other options.
How about you? What do you use for garden inspiration?
