Last summer, Fine Gardening editor Steve Aitken and associate editor Michelle Gervais challenged each other to a container competition. At Shakespeare's Garden in Brookfield, Connecticut, they selected their plants, then potted them up at home. You can watch the video to hear why they chose the plants they did, then vote for the one you prefer.
