Spring boxes

As the days get longer and snow drops, tulips and crocus announce the spring it is time to get your window boxes ready. Summer plants will start to be available at the end of May. Until then we can enjoy other plants and blossoms.

 

You are still on time to get some bulbs to make your window boxes or planter displays more interesting. Mixing them with seasonal and perennial plants will give your containers dynamism. Just when you start to get used to the sight of your pot some new blossoms will show.

There is a variety of evergreen perennial plants to combine with seasonal flowers to allow for different colours and textures ex: Aucubas, Euonymus, aromatic plants, etc.

Tabletop pots

Similar designs are available.

These are examples of small tabletop pots for interior and exterior positions.

They are ideal as house warming presents, Mother’s Day gifts, birthdays, ‘my first plant’ (for young gardeners) and other special occasions. They can be made using your favourite plants to suit your taste.

We can work with different pot sizes. The smallest, for plant combinations, is 17,5 cm (7 inches) diameter. See photo above.
