20 years ago, this dream started out as a road-side stand at this same location. A lot has changed since then. Take a look at how we’ve grown.
In the greenhouse, we design planters for customers on the daily! But if you find getting your hands dirty just as rewarding as we do and want to try designing your own… here’s our best tips and tricks!
Consider where your planter is going to be placed, if it’s along a walkway then it would be seen from all sides, if it’s up against a wall next to your front door then it’s 1-sided. A 360 planter needs to have one tall accent piece planted in the center of the pot, the body plants placed around it and the the trailing vines planted right along the edge in order to grow down. A 1-sided planter needs to have the tall accent in the back (against the wall) and the body plants in front around it.
Another helpful thought beforehand, is to check your area for sunlight. If that spot gets a lot of afternoon sunlight, then you need to choose only Full Sun plants. However, if it gets mostly morning sun and no afternoon sun, look for shade plants, so your planter will flourish through the summer season.
We hope for the best for your garden this season and I hope this guide helps you to be brave and make wise and creative selections for your planters! For advice on designing interior arrangements, click here!
