🌿 Designing the Layout: A Painter’s Approach
Think of your containers as canvases. Each one tells a story, and together they form a gallery of growth.
🎨 Step 1: Choose Your Containers
Mix sizes and shapes—tall watering cans, wide tubs, narrow buckets. Let each one serve a different purpose.
🌱 Step 2: Select Your Plants
Combine upright growers with trailing varieties. Use color theory—complementary hues, warm vs. cool tones.
🪴 Step 3: Layer the Soil
Use a mix of compost, potting soil, and perlite. Ensure good drainage and root support.
🌸 Step 4: Plant with Intention
Place taller plants at the center or back. Let trailing blooms spill over edges. Leave space for growth.
🌿 Step 5: Position on the Lawn
Arrange containers in clusters or lines. Use the lawn as a natural frame. Consider sun exposure and watering ease.
Poetic note: A garden is a painting that grows—each bloom a brushstroke of life.
🌼 Seasonal Care and Maintenance
To keep your container garden thriving, follow these rhythms:
🌷 Spring
Refresh soil and compost
Plant new annuals
Begin regular watering
☀️ Summer
Deadhead spent blooms
Fertilize every 2–3 weeks
Watch for pests and mildew
