When I first got into container gardening, I did not fully appreciate the significance the container contributed toward the whole presentation & was apt to arrange the contents into any old pot. After a while, I began to notice that the container was what made the difference between an arrangement being "nice" or "spectacular." That's when the "art" of this type of gardening dawned on me & of course, appealed all the more to my creative side! Now I buy the best containers I can afford and try to match them with the contents. I currently have a thing for "urns" which you'll notice I pin a LOT of on this board!
