BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Container Gardening A Designed Container Garden

Hello Everyone - I hope you are all in the pink as we say.

What does your container garden look like when the weather is kind and the season has been managed? Do you have or use any props like garden signs, or totem poles or signposts or mosaic pots or stepping stones or pot finishes or other 'hardware' like pebble surrounds or daisy circles and so on?

I have seen many different designs from a straight line of matching pots to pots going up entrance staircases to big singleton pots to themed pots to charming layouts that make the most of the container garden space.

Please share your ideas even if you don't have anything special. Of course ANYone with ANY kind of container is special ... but we don't always think so.

My plants are my friends, I couldn't imagine life without them!

Cheers now

Hiya All,

I am going to make three totem poles for my patch so I thought I would do some internet enquiries for 'how to' and inspiration. There are many designs and styles and materials and colours and patterns ... darn, I will have to choose my muse then get to it. I fancy some writing prompts on the poles with a decorative surround so that when I sit sipping tea and considering what to do next with my containers, I will also have something to meditate on. Wish me luck!

Cheers

I saw this on Farmer's Almanac. Granted it is Fall here in the states..

Hi Angie and Everyone,

WOW! What a fantastic site you refer to above - there is tons of wonderful information on all sorts of subjects, lovely ideas and super detail to teach and remind us about.

I hope everbody who celebrates Thanksgiving had a wonderful time, and if you get into the fray of Black Friday, I hope you found a bargain or two.

I am going to go back onto that site and see what new tricks I can pick up.

Have you written your letter to Santa yet?

Cheers for now, speak again soon,
