With over 15 years of expertise, our seasonal planter design service specializes in creating custom decorative planters—also known as container gardens—that bring beauty and character to your outdoor spaces. Whether at your home or place of business, no two designs are alike; each planter is thoughtfully crafted to reflect your personal style and complement your exterior, enhancing curb appeal and inspiring pride of ownership. We offer two service options to suit your needs. See below for more details, or connect with Emmeline directly to discuss the best option for you.
For clients with multiple existing planters of various sizes who require or prefer Emmeline and her team to carry out the seasonal design work on-site. Vetiver will thoughtfully refresh your containers with tailored, seasonal plantings—completed onsite either quarterly at the start of each season (spring, summer, autumn, winter) or for the specific seasons of your choosing.
Plus, we offer a weekly and bi-weekly Summer Upkeep service to give your planters the care they need to thrive all season. Ideal for those who split time between city and country or real estate agents staging a home for sale.
To our wonderful clients—you likely already know Arianna, your go-to gal for the summer planter design season.
She really does it all here at Vetiver (and somehow manages to look gorgeous doing it, even with dirt on her face, which, let`s be honest is most of the time when we`re `in it`)!
You’ll be seeing plenty of her along with the rest of the team while Emmeline rests at home with her very new baby.
We always phase our clients’ pots according to the weather. If we’ve had a heads-up that they’d like hydrangeas, it usually means waiting until mid-season, when the weather is kinder (easier said than done these days), but for many, the reward of being greeted by marshmallow clouds every day is worth it.
If you’re like us and already dreaming up your spring planter creations, here’s a few tips:
*Incorporate branches for immediate structure and impact while you are waiting for those bulbs to bloom
*bulk it up with spring flowering perennials like rhododendron, hellebores or forsythia for enduring colour. They can be repurposed in your garden later too!
*pansies are a great choice for a long lasting colour pop
