| Traditionally, alpine troughs are hand carved stone or pseudo-stone receptacles that are used as containers for a mixture of alpine perennials and dwarf conifers. This specialized form of container gardening allows those with limited space to create a miniature landscape. Alpine troughs offer a more effective display of diminutive plants and can provide a more suitable growing environment for plants that may require specific growing conditions (e.g. excellent drainage). In the restricted space of a trough, the growth rate of plants is slowed, similar to bonsai, so slow-growing plants that are typically grown in the garden can also be effectively used in the trough. |
