Container Gardens

Can you stand any more photos from Canada Blooms?

Here are some container gardens ... they had planters everywhere!

This was a water feature too

This was a large tree planter under planted with herbs and vegetables. I saw that a lot at the show




This one was kind of cool ... notice the legs

Each leg had blooms suspended in liquid

My daughter loved this planter


Here is a nice seating area surrounded by planters - (sorry, bad photography here as I cut most of them out)

An interesting one next to a vendor

The theme here was 'Wizard'

 

Awesome pictures!.

 

What a great outing!!! I'm taking my mom to the Tulip Festival this weekend in the Wilamette Valley. I am jazzed! It's a good mother/daughter thing, don't you think?

 

I enjoyed seeing these, Netty. Some of those creations are pretty spectacular. You must have had a tremendous day out there.

I enjoyed seeing the pics very much.

 

It was a great day for sure!
Stratsmom, I trust you will be taking a camera along to the Tulip festival? hint hint

 

Makes me what a bigger house. Thanks for sharing.

 

Makes me want to go out and buy some BIG containers! :-D

 

Netty, We are not tired of the pictures. Thanks for brightening all of our days. It is so blah outside, so we all are drooling at the green there. I loved all of them, too.

Me too, but I "bulk" at the cost of the amount of mix it would need.... Just thinking it is great, but I can't but think how many bales it might take for some of them.

 

Gosh, this show has way more stuff than the Indiana flower and patio show...most of what they had was tulips and hyacinths (I love those 2 flowers, but they went a bit overboard lol)

 

It's wonderful that we get to be at these shows even though they are so far away. Thank you so very much for sharing.....

 

I want a big container too. At least they'll stay put when we get our bad storms.

Lovely photos, I'd like to see more.

 

I stopped and priced some of those bigger containers. Got sticker shock.One held 120 # of soil.

 

Nice photos,Netty.I find old wash tubs make nice large containers.Containers in general are pricey. Think it's due to the fact that people want to grow veggies on patios & city yards.Yes,it takes a "ton" of soil.I do not change out my soil every year as I often see recommended.I make my own planter mix using rich soil hubby gets at our woods.Bring home a load of firewood & "by the way,hon,how about some buckets of dirt?"
