Digging Deeper: The Art of Container Gardening

Wethersfield’s garden visitors often admire the stunning container displays that enhance key areas of the garden. These thoughtfully arranged compositions have become one of the highlights of the visitor experience and play an important role in our horticulture fellowship program.

Join Wethersfield’s garden to explore the techniques behind creating these dynamic displays. Learn how to arrange plants based on foliage texture, shape, and color to complement the surrounding landscape. Discover best practices for selecting and caring for containers, considering factors like size, material, and durability.

At Wethersfield, these displays are placed in inviting areas where visitors can sit and take in the view—almost like being immersed in a living bouquet—reflecting the Arts and Crafts style of the inner garden.
