Creative containers

If removing your paving to create more planting room isn’t possible, employ containers to bring colour and interest.

How to use pots in your front garden

If you can’t create planting beds or have poor soil, use containers to bring more plants into your space. They can be changed through the year to give you a fresh burst of colour each season. Opt for fewer pots and buy as big as you can afford, lots of small pots can make the space look cluttered. Here large wooden tubs allow this homeowner to grow mature shrubs, greening up a concrete plot.
