Landscape design with potted plants

Hands up who has an awkward corner in the garden? Perhaps an unsightly feature such as an air conditioning unit that needs screening or a spot next to the steps that needs a certain something. Alternatively, there might be a highly visible spot that needs a strong focal statement.

If you do, then careful design and use of potted plants can help lift these areas or obscure the background. There is a huge variety of pots and bowls to choose from. Location, style, scale and aspect all need to be considered before selecting the right plants. For example, consider using a contemporary planter with a more classic inspired planting arrangement to create a great look. Or use lots of pots together in a particular arrangement. Don’t forget hanging pots too can be used where space allows, to achieve a truly ‘hanging garden’.

Happy planting.
