Eye-Catching Pots for Patio Gardens

When I moved to London in 2022, I said goodbye to my third of an acre lot and the garden opportunities that went with it. I found myself in a 500 square foot flat with a small terraced garden (fun fact, the Brits call a yard a "garden" instead, so I did have a small patch of grass along with my patio!). I didn't want to invest too much money into more permanent landscaping because I was renting and wasn't sure how long I'd be living in that particular space (hello tumultuous rental market of London - if you know, you know). So I turned to patio containers and began potting away!

Some favorites were my Calibrachoa (Million Bells) and African Daisies (though those struggled the most, of all things...), but the real showstopper was Foxglove. Now back in North Florida, I can't grow Foxglove quite like I could in the prime environment of the UK, though I have a friend who has taken on the challenge and is doing quite well even through the hot and humid summertime. I prefer to look back fondly at the memories of my potted cottage garden. While I did use a few of the pots that had been left by previous tenants, I primarily stuck to classic (albeit basic) terra cotta and neutral pots from IKEA or BQ (the UK's version of Home Depot, complete with that orange branding).

You can liven up your patio or terraced garden though with lots of bright, inspiring containers to match the beauty of your plants!
