Create blooming lovely floral displays with inspiration and a 20% discount from Sarah Raven
Spring has finally sprung and the welcome sight of blue skies and sunshine are now becoming more frequent, so, for many, it’s time to start planning and get planting, ready for the year ahead.
One of the easiest ways to spruce up your garden or outdoor space is with pots – a low maintenance transformation that will add colour and interest. And now is the time to plant up as we’ve teamed up with Sarah Raven to offer The Simple Things readers 20% off their top container collections.
Sarah Raven herself shares her rules of thumb when it comes to putting together the ideal display pot. “When putting together our container collections, I follow two overlapping recipes,” she says. “Firstly, I always think about colour – I’ll either harmonise and plant several plants of the same hue, or I’ll opt for contrast and will usually select two plants from the same colour palette and a third in as strong a contrasting shade as possible.”
Another key consideration is form and Sarah sticks to her failsafe ‘thriller, filler and spiller’ set up. “I’ll choose a crowdpleaser (the thriller), a quieter sidekick (the filler), and a trailer (the spiller) to soften the overall look.” With this easy-to-remember plan, you’ll be producing colourful containers to be proud of in no time. However, for more inspiration, go online or visit Sarah Raven’s Perch Hill base in East Sussex, on one of the pre-bookable open days, for tried and tested combinations.
