Stylized patio

Pick a corner, any corner of your garden and create instant interest and the perfect place to sit and here’s how:

Step one

Take a wall hanging basket and fill it with flowers of your choice, add trailers to the front of the wall hanging basket. They will drop down to meet the main feature plant growing up from the large planter placed below this.

Step Two

Place a large pot of the prolific blooming hydrenga,  shown here, or another larger flowering shrub of you choice  beneath the wall hanging basket

Step 3

Add smaller pots, so as not to overshadow the main feature plant,  to each side. Plant these up with tall growing flowering plants such as this Allium above.  These will help cover/conceal the wall/fence backdrop and give you a sense of being immersed in the garden.

Step 4

To create another layer add smaller pots to the front of the arrangement.
