{"title":"Troughs, Pots and Crevices","description":"Troughs (or other containers) are a special and fun ways to have a collection of tiny plants for year round interest. How about a woodland trough in the shade, or a xeric sedum and sempervivum collection?  Crevices are specialised ways to grow plants championed by the Czecks. But this can also be done on a small scale in a trough too. Unless you choose only one plant massed per trough, be careful to choose a collection that don't include a thug. Not all plants are demure in this section.
