Love your vlogs!! Thank you so much. Great content as always…this lady you interviewed is super interesting and love her voice!! Super nice vlog! Stay safe😷🌻🌼🇳🇿
I love displaying pots in my garden. Great video
I have a limited budget for fancy pots but lately I will buy classical fiberglass ones because they just are lighter and easier to move around the garden. Also I’ll buy cheaper ceramic pots maybe pay an extra 10 for ones that are unique shape. Finally if I must buy cheap plastic pots I nearly always spruce it up with a better color using spray paint. “hammered”, or stone-like, thicker paint with gloss is a good way to disguise an ugly plastic pot
I found your channel through Linda Vader. You ladies are so knowledgeable and inspiring!
I enjoy using pots underneath trees where it is impossible to dig because of roots. For many years I have collected blue and white pottery and blue glazed pots. I had them scattered about in my garden but recently gathered several of them to one area and planted things of various heights, flowering trees, topiaries, baby box gems, and some smaller plants and flowers. It’s created a mini garden and the colors pop against that deep blue base.
Beautiful…..
How have you got on with the shaded area where the trellis used to be?
Ivy?..invasive
What kind of Skimmia does Diane Perry use in her pots at her front door, they look great.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL❤️❤️🌸🌷
Beautiful garden and so unique pots 💚💚💚 I’m very lucky to fiend your Chanel New subscriber
I am 70 this year and with a disability injury that limits me, I miss gardening. After many years, I have decided to try again, using only pots, so I am thrilled to discover this channel!
Hi Alexander, just when I think our gardener’s friend have covered just about every subject, then there is a new topic. I love garden pots, whether it is the large Grecian pots like we saw or the various garden pots. I am so pleased to see your guest has incorporated those cement pots into the borders. Garden pots are such treasures, they come and go just like a fashion show, today it is glazed ceramic, then it’s earthen clay, and so on, they all serve the same purpose! I found some plants do better straight into the garden than planted up in pots. I want to protect some bulbs as they can be quite pricy, and go for the pots but after a season they are better suited planted out. The red geraniums planted in the oversized cement pot is absolutely stunning. It is a lovely garden talk, and I am sure many viewers are going to be inspired. Until next time, Elize
Sofie: I hope I’m not late for the luncheon!
Thank you so so much for the advice. I am pot mania and have learned a lot.
We are all blessed to be gardeners , cannot imagine life without
Good topic, I never knew potscaping was a thing, and I always wondered if pots looked good in beds so I found this interesting, Thank you👌👍
I have pots either side of my door but whatever I put in them one tree always dies!!! It’s weird, I think maybe one side is more windy than the other but not sure.
What kind of Roses do you put in pots? They must not be too big, I suppose.
I love the old pots my mum used to use a lot of old pots her garden was beautiful .and I realy want to learn gardening these videos are so help full thank you x
Lovely examples of how to make pots look striking, such as the front door twin pots, and to add height and interest to the borders.
Do some UK gardeners use timed drip systems for pots near the house? I would love to see an interview with someone who does this successfully. Would save water and be so convenient when away from home. 🍃
I’m another 70 plus gardener who’s trying to figure out what I can do. In my case, sciatica has reduced my ability to haul large bags of mulch, plant trees, and move large pots. Fortunately, I have found a service in my neighborhood staffed by young gardeners. I love the idea of inserting pots for blank spots.
Love your garden wall lol 😆
Hi Alexandra- I cam across your channel a few days ago. Great videos and lots of good information!
What a lovely garden and great execution. I’m very impressed by the beautiful curved stone wall with the concrete planter. This winter I plan to make some concrete planters – and maybe a concrete obelisk for roses to lean upon.
Warm regards
Jennie
I found this episode very interesting as I love pots.
On a personal note Alexandra I love how you do interviews by asking a question and then give the person a chance to respond without interruption.
So different to the American way.🤣
Beautiful pots!
I am not really a great fan of pots, but loved the way they were featured in this video. Lots of ideas!
Excellent video! So many things to consider when using potted plants, and you have laid it all out in an intelligent way. Thank you!
Thank you gorgeous!
oh great! I was hoping you’d get to this one day. I saw a vid from Bunny Guinness who does a great trick of cutting out the bottom out of the pot and letting the plant root through into the ground. Rarely has to water them, and they can’t be stolen. Enjoyed this video – inspiring Alexandra!
Thank you once again for a wonderful tour that offers so much inspiration. That garden is so elegant
These are excellent ideas for pot-scraping , to fill a shady place in the centre of my backyard where I need some height. Thank you and stay safe! ☀️🇨🇦
better
amazing dear stay connected lots of love from india
Another great episode. Well done
I have actually edited my pots I had so many. While they did serve a purpose, for ease I have really limited them the constant worry of watering to keep them alive. Yes years ago I did lots of them but times change.
Needs a health warning- pots are addictive! We decided to limit ourselves to a small number of large pots for awkward areas when we moved here. A year later and there are perhaps fifty in various locations around the garden, and another dozen hidden away behind the shed waiting for them to spring into life and be rotated with those starting to go over. We keep a small supply of bedding plants on hand to fill any gaps or replace anything that gets eaten, and have sometimes resorted to placing pots in pots, just to fill a hole until other plants get large enough.
For potscapes we find lightweight concrete blocks are useful for raising the height of the rear pots and creating a cascade effect. The are easy to handle, cheap to buy, and unobtrusive.
I love your videos! Thank you!
Huge thanks to Alexandra for another intelligent, beautifully edited, info-packed episode! I toyed with the idea of putting pots in bed to fill gaps but I lacked the nerve to try it (feeble, I know). Seeing it done so successfully is incredibly helpful, and the short but in-depth piece provides all the details we need. Really excellent piece.
I love your channel as it has so much good information. Thank you!
Very helpful garden tip, I’m going to roll around in my garden as soon as I can, let’s be YouTube mate?
Such lovely pots!so well arranged!
Another fabulous video. Oh how I love visiting England with you.!!!

Wish I could afford a garden like that and something nicer than my £5 plastic pots…
Very little info here…
The friend looks like a gorgeous old and intelligent Melania who has accepted herself. Nothing like Melania from the inside. She is just lovely.
Any ideas for colour on a budget for a planter at a North facing front door? I have a huge pot and struggle to create anything other than a random mass of foliage which looks flat from a distance. One day, I’ll have a large architectural specimen, but till then, I keep trying!
This is another beautiful garden, I love the high surrounding wall.
