Topiary Pots in the Snow

Alberta spruce clipped into a three ball standard.

Our topiary pots have found a new home by an old shed for the present, but I am itching to use them to get started on the layout for a new knot garden... any fair day now...

These plastic terra-cotta colored pots look nice but can stay out in the snow all winter without fear of breakage.


Hope you are snug in your cozy home for the end of 2013!

    You will have so much fun designing your new garden, will you start again or is there some planting already there that you like?
    Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year in your new home!

      Thanks Pauline! There are some wonderful mature trees, but not much for plantings. We will be making some drastic changes at the beginning in layout - even changing where the front door is. It will be a lot of work, but very worth it I think. :)

    No fair days here right now just a lot of snow. I wonder if you are getting this storm too. Happy New Year.

    I love your new house, Julie. Can't wait to see what you do with the garden. A knot garden sounds so Elizabethan England to me -- lovely! Wishing you a very happy New Year and joy in your new home. P. x

    I do love topiary, and I love that you have yours in pots. I may try that this year. Thanks for the inspiration.
