Choosing the Right Planter

Follow your thumb

Gardeners love the beauty and convenience of a planter.  Great for apartments or homes with small yards, planters are valuable tools indoors or outside.

Planters and your home

Planters come in a variety of sizes and styles, and choosing the right ones might seem daunting.  For designers, having too many planter options is better than having too few.  Consider these points when selecting a planter.

Indoor planter:  Keep in mind the layout of your home, and select an indoor planter arrangement complementing for your décor.

Outdoor planter:  Garden planters come in many types.  Fiberglass planters and crescent planters bring dimension to your garden.

Eye-Catching Beauty:  A great planter should definitely draw attention and appreciation.

Drainage:  Plants love water, and drain holes are a planter necessity. 

Location:  Planters help focus attention in a garden or room.  Doorways, living room bay windows, or patios are all great places.  Experiment with contrasting elements, such as an aquarium or rock garden.

Unique styles:  If you are tight for floor space, hanging planters deliver an interesting option.

Vary your selection:  Planters look good alone, but creating a planter group changes everything!  A variety of styles, sizes, and colors open a room to visual appeal.

Setting up

A planter ensemble is interesting to arrange.  Consider how a planter  looks together filled with plants.  Leafy, flowery, and thick-stemmed plants each create different effects in different planters.  Both symmetrical and asymmetrical planter groupings create interesting designs.  Explore which system is right for you.

A pleasant touch

Planters bring artistic design to your gardening.  Colorful and pleasing to touch, they take gardens to a sophisticated level.  Let your imagination wander and creativity soar when adding planters to your home.  You'll love the new look.
