If you literally don’t have any space for a real large garden but still want at least a small one, or your kid is looking for a way to play with a little garden, make a container one! A container garden can fit any area, both an indoor and outdoor one, and it can easily match your overall outdoor style, just choose a right type of it. There are many kinds of container gardens, from desert to water and to crevice gardens, which we are going to discuss today.
What Is A Crevice Garden?
A crevice garden is a garden that takes inspiration from natural areas where plants grow in spaces between rocks. You can build an alpine crevice garden, with plants from mountain ecosystems or create a desert rock garden.
Crevice gardens also do well with native plants designed for xeriscaping. With well-drained soil, a native crevice garden does not use much water and should thrive.
A crevice garden might have various looks, the most popular ones are Alpine or mountain crevice gardens and desert ones, both types show off a scenery with rocks, various types of blooms, or succulents and cacti, some moss and grasses and other fillers typical for mountains.

How To Make A Container Crevice Garden?
First of all, choose a proper container. Will it be an old trolley? A large or small pot, bird bath or some other piece? It should correspond with the space where you will place it.
Building a crevice garden requires rocks and an appropriate soil mix. You can use any types of rocks in any arrangement you like, but the current trend uses flat slabs arranged upright and parallel to each other.
Fill in the spaces between the rocks with soil mix. This should include equal parts topsoil, compost, and a material that adds drainage: sand, perlite, or gravel. Take your time setting the stones. Once filled in, the top edges will provide the visual interest, so you want it to look right.
With the soil filled in between the rocks, add your plants. Although most plants for crevice gardens come from dry environments, they do need regular watering, so don’t forget about it. Now place your garden wherever you want and enjoy!
