CONTAIN YOUR PASSION

CREATE A GORGEOUS GARDEN EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE TRADITIONAL SPREAD LITTLE CAN BE BIG!
CONTAIN YOUR PASSION

1 TASTY MIX

Take an old soup cauldron from your kitchen to your garden – or find one at a charity shop – and plant it with your fave herbs and garnishes – golden oregano, sage, sorrel and thyme, plus a pretty curry plant, pansies and flowering chives.

2 OUT OF THE BLUE!

Looking like an old-fashioned jack-in-the-box, this rusted metal container is perfect for spring’s grape hyacinths. But be careful with metal containers, as they get hot in summer and can sizzle the roots.

A deck, a balcony, a bare wall, any paved area... these blank canvases give you the chance to exercise your creativity and imagination – and have fun. Not having a traditional garden with lawns, beds and borders doesn’t mean you can’t fuss over the greenery and flowers you long for. It just means thinking beyond the cliched hanging basket of petunias, geraniums in a window box, or a potted palm. You can make your little space a big, flourishing statement that says fabulous. Wow!

3 GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

There’s no need to drill holes in these old timber desk drawers because they’re just holding traditional pots. But you may want to lay down plastic liners to prevent the timber rotting from excess water.

4 KICK SOME GOALS

Old, leaky boots already come with drainage holes and this is important when you’re growing succulents – they hate wet feet.

5 BE WOKE WITH BESPOKE

Recycle an old wagon wheel or a modern bike wheel for your little herb garden. Between spokes, poke in your essential herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, lavender, marjoram, chervil, mint or chamomile.
