Inspiring Containers from Chanticleer
/
I was astounded by the beauty of the container plantings at Chanticleer Garden in Wayne, Penn. Although it was only mid-April, there were dozens of richly planted pots throughout the garden. The containers themselves ranged from formal urns to terracotta, glazed ceramics and modern metals. Many were grouped or strategically placed to enhance the garden's design. I hope that you will be inspired to create your own artistic contained gardens!
