Bamboo in recent years has become a much more popular choice for gardens in northern Europe as it offer fast growing and dense foliage at a low price. There are various different types available and you should do your research before you buy as some can be pretty viral and take over you garden.
I was recently walking around London and realised just how many planters and flower pots there are. It sounds like a silly thing for a concrete planter designer and producer not to have noticed but there really are so many and we just pass them by. I think it’s a situation where you would miss them it they weren’t there but they blend into the landscape when they are.
Garden design like many other forms of design starts off life by putting pen to paper and sketching something out. I see many nice gardens, contemporary or traditional, all over the internet and I they are all inspiring works. So inspiring in fact that I decided to paint the images so have a look and see what you think.
With websites like Etsy and Houzz the internet is a wash with creative souls getting out their dirty clothes and making stuff. One of the most popular it seems is concrete flower pots in tiny incarnations with succulents and cacti nestled inside. They weren’t the first though as concrete has long been used for flower pots due to its strength and durability.
In recent times though concrete has developed an image of style and class with many top designers and architects using it in their ideas. There are now a few companies that make stylish planters but use this old school material to give it a designer edge.
