Urning Interest

Sometimes plants just aren't enough and a spot calls out for some type of structure. It took a while for me to appreciate empty pots in the garden (I just wanted to plant them all), but now I can easily slip a large urn or pot into a space and appreciate the interest, color and form it adds to the garden.

This pot is in one of my front beds in San Juan Capistrano and is a pleasing vertical focal point. There is a snowball viburnum and heliotrope in front of the bed.

Empty pots can look great in a garden! Like you, I've always been tempted to plant in them,but recently I've come to realize that many pots are beautiful just as they are. Like yours, on the picture!
