Short on time to
plant up your pots?

You can have your planter's and hanging baskets just as you like them without all the work and fuss!  From single super-sized entrance planters to a dozen matching hanging baskets, we'll do it all for you.   

Here's how it works.  in spring, bring us your empty containers, pots, urns, window boxes, hanging baskets - whatever.  After a tour of the greenhouse, we'll use your plant choice feedback to design and plant up your container.  Into our heated greenhouse they'll go for a kick start, where they'll grow and fill in quickly.  Once all danger of frost has passed you can pick them up or we'll deliver and hang them for you.  Lovely planters to last the season, with little more effort than a phone call!  

Your planter is too big to bring to us, you say?  We'll come to you with a load of plants and potting soil and design a spectacular container right on the spot.  Perhaps your planter is large enough to consider a permanent planting of a small tree and some perennials?  We'll consult with you on style and plant preferences and see it through.
