Today – Happiness in a Pot

I do love a nice pot and I do believe you can find happiness in a pot, garden s do not have to be a place of huge effort and expense and you do not need a huge piece of land. The humble pot can do its magic  and needs only the tiniest of places to perform its spell

They seem just far less work than the garden as a whole. Not that I got much help this weekend …my little helper seemed to think it was time to chill. Hmmm.

 

Professional ideas for happiness in a pot

Take a look at Alan Titchmarchs latest book on container gardening for more inspiration. You might also lie my post on indoor plants and why hiring them might be better than buying them.

    they look really lovely, especially all together like that. I planted up a pot with a £5 bulb mix from Sainsbury’s and it is my pride and joy! We’ve had crocus and hyacinths and now the anemones are peeping through! x

    Lovely Becky – I’m a firmer believer that surrounding yourself with flowers really can make your life better. I wonder if GPs will ever give botanical prescriptions ?
    You’ve been such a busy bee – it really is a beautiful space you have – thank you for joining in again 🙂

    I love pots too! I really love your ranunculus, they’re my favourite cut flower of all time. I’ve never thought of growing them in pots though, I must give it a go 🙂
