CONTAINER GARDENS
Explains The Gentle Gardeners
Virginia Rockwell, who studied at the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew in
London and learned what makes English window boxes, hayrack gardens,
and other container plantings so special: "Like a scarf or jewelry,
container plantings must be chosen carefully and changed frequently.
Using tender perennials and annuals chosen for their foliage, color, and shape as well as long-blooming habits, we create unique compositions suited to your site. Containers that will endure in your conditions are carefully chosen. Plants are changed and freshened 4 to 6 times a year. The design can be tailored to your business calendar to accommodate special events. We take into consideration your particular needs including hours of direct sunlight per day, reflective and radiant heat from buildings and pavements, awnings that dont allow rainfall, building managements that dont allow water on the ground, anchoring to prevent theft, etc.
We also offer Container Garden Clinics (see left) for do-it-yourselfers. Call the store for a current calendar or to enroll. "The Melting Pot" - our garden containers from around the world will help you compose beautifully.
