Landscaping with potted plants


Following is a photo from the gardens in Staples, MN that shows how potted plants can be used to enhance your landscape. You will notice that the pot sizes vary but blend in quite nicely. Also notice the compatible colors, with pinks, blues or purples and white in the distance behind. Too many contrasting colors always makes it look like the little kid in the candy store. Another plus for using potted plants is that you can extend your season here in the upper midwest. At the first sign of frost you can simply move your pots in to your garage for the night and put them back out in the morning when all danger of frost has passed. This was really quite nicely done and is something that any homeowner can do.
