planters and window boxes
Even if your garden consists of pots on a deck or patio, or window boxes in front of your home, fiori garden design can create beautiful “miniature gardens” that will provide you with ongoing pleasure throughout the year. Planters and window boxes are our specialty, and we delight in offering our clients something new and exciting in every season.
Starting in early spring, cold-tolerant pansies, Johnny jump-ups and alyssums are planted, providing a welcome burst of color just when it seems that winter will never end. In May, annuals are combined in elegant and unusual arrangements of colors, textures and foliage – we plant our containers generously, resulting in an “instant garden” that will look great right away and through the rest of the season. We will make periodic visits during this time to check on the health and vitality of your plants and, if you wish, replace any plants that are no longer thriving as the season progresses. Refreshing your containers mid-season keeps them looking vibrant right through the end of the summer.
Fall brings another opportunity to create color in your environment as the landscape begins to go dormant for the winter. Seasonal classics such as chrysanthemums and flowering kales and cabbages are combined with pine cones, miniature pumpkins and gourds, and branches of bright berries.
Winter does not mean having to stare at forlorn, empty pots for months to come. In December, we will create seasonal arrangements of greens, berries and twigs to provide a festive look that will last through the coldest winter months. If you prefer something simpler, giant seedheads combined with mini kales and cabbages ensure that your containers will look attractive all winter long.
We install all of our containers using a custom blended soil mix, along with essential nutrients and water-storing polymers. The best-quality plants are selected and planted, and your installation is completed with a generous layer of mulch to provide a neat and finished appearance.
