Woven Containers Add at www.japanese-home-gardens.com

woven containers add wicker baskets teamed with solid earthenware in strong blues and terracotta are simple, welcoming and unpretentious -just right for this scheme. Stand potted plants in woven containers add containers to add a lush, natural feel. The orange rug warms up the stone floor, and adds both rich colour and kasbah cool.

In many respects, small containers are more difficult to place. Several small containers scattered about do not necessarily make a bold impact and can look fussy. Furthermore, a group of small containers can also be more difficult to maintain. However, they do come into their own when placed around the edges of larger containers to soften their outlines.

Try to create different levels when you group containers and arrange them in a tiered manner. Not only is this visually more exciting than a uniform row of pots, but each planting will be displayed to best effect and create a terrace-like cascade of foliage. Do not mix too many different types of containers in one group. Either choose containers of a similar style, or stick to one type of material, such as terracotta.
