For Containers Displayed: Try to create different levels when you group containers and arrange them in a tiered manner. Not only is this visually more exciting than a uniFOR containers displayedm row of pots, but each planting will be displayed to best effect and create a terrace-like cascade of foliage. Do not mix too many different types of containers in one group. Either choose containers of a similar style, or stick to one type of material, such as terracotta.
In many respects, small containers are more difficult to place. Several small containers scattered about do not necessarily make a bold impact and can look fussy. Furthermore, a group of small containers can also be more difficult to maintain. However, they do come into their own when placed around the edges of larger containers to soften their outlines.

THERE ARE pots, urns, planters, troughs, Tubs and window-boxes to choose from, made of terracotta, plastic, wood and stone. So you will always be able to find something suitable to include in your garden.
Containers bring the garden on to patios, terraces and balconies and, when secured to walls or window sills, they introduce a vertical element. Free-standing containers, such as urns and tubs, can be used to flank flights of steps with color, to make focal points in lawns or to add height. Pairs of containers at either side of entrances add importance and convey a welcoming message to visitors. |
