Desert container gardening is not the same as gardening anywhere else. Our summers are longer and hotter, our winters can bring sudden cold snaps, and plants in pots need a smarter plan to thrive.
Be inspired to do something different and expand your vision, imagination, and enjoyment of seeing beautiful plants in a container that thrive in your desert home.
- Determine the correct plants to combine in a pot for the upcoming season so that the display makes sense and is pleasing to the eye.
- Know the correct location to place your pots so they will do their best.
- Choose your color theme and learn how to make it happen.

Marylee Pangman
Marylee Pangman founded The Contained Gardener in 1998 as a niche business in the desert community of Tucson, Arizona.
Since then, Marylee has been compelled to share all that she has learned about container gardening over 3 decades of blistering summers and record breaking winters. Marylee sees container gardening as a way to have an oasis garden while conserving water as the demands of pots are far less than heavily planted areas and beds. You can find Marylee’s books, Getting Potted in the Desert, and Riley’s Garden Oasis at the Garden Gift Shop. These two books are excellent resources for creating and caring for potted gardens, advice on container selection, plant lists and much more. https://thepotteddesert.com
