Container Design Resources

Container Design October

Build sun and shade containers with a few quick tips! Whether you like to do it yourself, need something quick or would like a custom professional design, we have you covered.

See our easy direction for creating a Thriller Spiller Filler.

Choose the plants and we can do the potting: Houseplants, hanging baskets, mixed containers, holiday center pieces, window boxed, shrubs and trees in containers.

Have a pot at home that needs a hole in it? Bring it in and for $1.00 we’ll drill one for you (We cannot guarantee we won’t break the pot in the process of drilling, but we’ll do our best to not make that happen.)
