It is not possible to get a more instant garden, or for that matter, more instant satisfaction, than planting up a pot. A trip to the garden center will reveal a tantalizing array of plants looking at their peak, which you will be able to group together to achieve a stunning effect. And better than that is, if you fancy a change in a few weeks, you can change things around or add some extra ingredients, all with very little effort. One of the main secrets to successful container gardening, is to use good quality compost, and to always put some drainage material at the bottom of the pot. It is also extremely necessary to keep on top of the watering.
