Well chosen plants in well chosen containers make an excellent focal point to any garden, patio, wall or entrance to your home providing a wow(!) factor.

A bright, beautiful collection of pots filled with co-ordinating plants can brighten a patio or terrace. To make a collection of pots work you need good shapes, colours and proportions in both the pots and plants. Attractive pots filled with herbs, placed in a sunny location, perhaps outside your kitchen door make a lovely, compact kitchen garden. With a little tender loving care they will thrive and produce added ingredients for your cooking pot.

Two pots either side of a front door or porch provide a dramatic,welcoming entrance to any home. If you’re selling your house it provides a glimpse of what lies within, enticing future buyers through the door.

Wall hung containers, add much needed space for plants in a small garden or brighten a big dull expanse of wall. Hay racks look fabulous planted, they not only take large plants due to their depth and size but trailing plants too.

No room for a pond? A sealed container makes a wonderful water garden feature, not only looking great but attracting good wildlife into the garden that act as natural pest controls. Add a small pump for extra impact and soothing noise.

Are you struggling for an ideal special present? Any of the above would make a lovely, long lasting present. Certain flowers take on different meanings…Gardenia-’You’re lovely’, Forget-me-nots-’Love’, Pansy-’I'm thinking of you’, Red Camellia-’You’re a flame in my heart’, Primrose-’I can’t live without you’, Yellow Irises-’For Passion’. A stunning pot filled with a favourite plant has much more longevity than a bouquet of flowers and mark a special birthday, wedding, anniversary for ever.

At ljgardens we offer a service to give your containers a designer edge. If you have a desire for some gorgeous containers we will visit you for a consultation and either take the containers away to plant or plant the containers on site if they are of a larger variety! We will also source and supply containers when necessary. If it’s a present a telephone consultation is normally sufficient, it may be that you would like us to visit your recipient if they have a special container to be planted or you may like us to find a suitable container and plant it with either favourite plants or plants of a special colour.

Our service is both professional and friendly and we endeavour to keep costs reasonable for containers,compost, plants and our time. No job is too small, we put the same amount of care into all our containers big or small, one or one hundred!

Success is all about the right container, the right place and the right plants.
