Garden Planters with Thrillers
Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Thu May 28, 2009 1:30 pm Thrillers are those bold and exciting plants in your garden containers; they are usually the tallest and should be planted off to one side of your pot. Add the lower layers of plants surrounding your "thriller", don't forget some with bold colors too. To complete your arrangement, add a few plants to trail over the side so that the planter seems connected to the ground. This blog entry has been viewed 277 times
Ditzy Little Containers
Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 3:41 pm Always buy larger containers and planters than you think you will need. Those small ones look like little pots dotted over the surface, get a great splashy effect with large containers. Like all forms of gardening, scale is very important and little ditzy pots just won't do justice to your space. Buy planters that will last for many many years and you can add to your collection over time. This blog entry has been viewed 293 times
