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.
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
It’s amazing how long some flowers `keep on keeping on`—especially the wilder spring ones, like this flowering onion (pictured here). Even tulips have stayed with me for over a week, which still surprises me. And these ranunculus? They’ve dried into something quite lovely. Usually, their petals scatter like confetti while I’m rushing them off to the compost.
