Nearly 100 unique, seasonal, stunning container garden designs from the beloved brand Terrain
Every season, Terrain customers flock to their stores for one-of-a-kind container plantings that are at once naturalistic and restrained, unconventional and sophisticated. From tabletop troughs of succulents to stately trees planted in grand urns, each design is unique--and uniquely Terrain. In this book, they've distilled the guiding principles behind their approach in dozens of showstopping planters, from ebullient spring bulbs to festive winter evergreens. In keeping with their nature-led ethos, they've organized the book by season, and each chapter offers specific plant and design ideas that align with the natural beauty and resources of that time of year. Throughout, readers will find practical advice on container silhouettes, materials, drainage, soil mixes and more to support healthy growth. And each vibrant planter is captured in gorgeous original photography that celebrates Terrain's signature perfectly imperfect style and shows that container gardens belong anywhere, from petite urban patios to sprawling rural backyards.Author Biography
