HOW TO MAKE A TUB GARDEN 
For the best results, the tub should be sunk at least half way 
into the soil. A sunny location is preferable. Fill tub half full of 
rich soil. Cover soil with half inch of sand and fill with water. 
Plant hardy lilies horizontal (flat) and tropicals upright. 
Tub Gardens fit into Rockeries beautifully. For most impressive 
effects, use shrubs, evergreens, or a hedge for background and 
boulders or rocks for foreground.
