A GIFT OF TWO PLANTERS

 Our next door neighbour bought a couple of tin planters for his garden but decided he did not like them anywhere, so gave them to us.

We decided to buy some plants and plant them up today. Once we'd returned from the garden centre it was time to find them just the right spot. Somewhere we could see the plants daily. So we tried out the front of the house first but they were to big for the only place available.

Then we tried a couple of places round the back until we found somewhere we could see them from the patio.


They have this tree motif on them.


We moved the round pot along into the centre at the side of the path and placed the two new pots either side. Then we filled them with Perennials, which we will transfer to the garden beds at the end of the season.


 The pot on the left has a Kniphofia Pyromania Backdraft, a White Gaura, a deep pink Veronica and a Dahlia called Melody.


In the right hand pot is , a Pink Gaura, an Echinacea called Moods Symphony , a purple Veronica and a Dahlia called Icoon.
