Garden club members discover the ins and outs about our pots.
This week we were visited by the Murray Bridge Garden Club. Our team talked to them about pots for gardens and Patios. Our presentation included what pots are made from, water wise pots, plants for pots and how to create beautiful pot displays.
I spoke about "Pots to beautify your garden" and I was asked by some garden club members to post some of the images from my presentation on this blog...so here they are...
These graceful armeria team perfectly with the purple pot.
Stark white flowers look great in vivid glazed pots. Try white pansies or lobelia.
A red pot was chosen to highlight the red new growth of this abelia .
The orange flowers vibrate against this blue pot. Under planting creates a dramatic effect.
Form over flower. Choose non-flowering plants for striking foliage, texture and shape.
Place your potted plants on a pedistal to add height and highlight floral displays
Come in and see our new dispays of outdoor furniture. We have made a statement with this seasons hot colour RED!
Black & silver foliage and our new black water features are on dislplay now.
I found this little plant market in Florence quiet bazaar. It was set in the city centre near a train station. The plants where mostly plants suited to pots, perfect for those with no gardens.
The seasonal fruit and veg. throughout Italy taste great. They are most likely ripened on the vine or tree making them naturally sweeter and more flavoursome.
Useful large leafed basil plants grow in a Tuscan village. Colourful geraniums add colour to the potted display.
A small sunny patch makes a great little spot to grow tomatoes.
