This project is for 4-H members who are familiar with many of the basic practices of container gardening. It compares different ways of doing things to see which is best for your location and situation. In this project you can try different gardening practices, different varieties of flowers and vegetables, and make judgments about varieties and practices to produce quality crops. You may carry the Experimental Container Garden project for two or more years. Older 4-H members who are unable to obtain land for increased gardening may continue carrying the project. Your experience in 4-H gardening, container gardening, and experimental container gardening will prepare you for any container gardening experience. Growing vegetable or flower transplants, ornamental plants from cuttings, or supplying terrariums and dish gardens may be a way to profit from your skills.
