Garden Pots That Suit Your Needs

Posted by Potscenter on March 15th, 2019

Container gardening has been around for centuries and is actually gaining in popularity. In some instances there is no other option BUT to use garden pots for a garden such as high-rise or apartment living. The following is a list of considerations if you are thinking of using garden pots in your own garden:

It can be very tempting to buy a little bit of every design of garden pots. When you go into a plant centre and see all of the attractive containers available, your mind is full of all the things that you can do with them. In a large outside space, with only a few planters, this might not matter too much. However, most gardeners only have a limited amount of space, and the containers can quickly clash, making your garden look like an explosion in a clay factory. By choosing your pots based upon one theme, you can limit the number of clashes your garden contains. Garden Pebbles Melbourne

Traditional garden pots with handles and ribbed patterns have had their day. Instead, you can find modern styles and pots designed to have a more urban theme. These pots are designed to be sleek, elegant and stylish. Unlike the traditional rounded terracotta pots, there is more emphasis upon geometric shapes, often square or hexagonal. Pots can also be made out of much more than the clay of the past. Metal and stone planters are the norm now, and in addition they can also be made from large pieces of carved concrete, ideal for a soft garden which needs a solid feature to catch the eye.

If you vary the sizes of the plants and the pots, you will create a garden with a more eye-catching appearance. Place small pots up close and scale them up as you go back.

The best way to buy the perfect pot is to try and match it with your other garden supplies. Pots which are tall, slim and elegant will perhaps suit a single, architectural plant. Large hexagonal containers can be stacked together to create a rockery-style feature of your small alpines and shrubs. Look for modern designs which suit the already existing plan of your garden, or which will suit a particular area. Don't try and make your plants match the pots you buy, however, as this could mean that you purchase plants you are not really interested in, and which end up being neglected.
