Another of my passions in life is container gardening. Living in an urban environment like Chicago with four outdoor decks has really inspired me to get creative with containers and plants. This year, several of my friends have asked for my help in putting together their rooftops, storefronts, balconies and street containers. I've been happy to oblige!
While working on my friend's gardens, people stopped to admire my work and ask for a business card. You know what they say, give the people what they want.....
Starting today, ttwcreative the container gardening business is open! I plan to offer a variety of services, including:
- Residential container garden design and installation, just for summer or seasonal displays. For clients who are remote or just like to DIY, I can offer a container garden plan completely customized to your space and you can execute the plan yourself.
- Commercial container design to help business spruce up their curb appeal and draw in customers.
- Home sale staging to help homeowners present their home in the best possible light while it is on the market.
This blog and a companion website are in the works, as well.
Look for some great before and after shots coming this week. In the meantime, I'll leave you with a cute little container I did for my friend Angela's front stoop at her River North townhome......the container is one she scored for $50 Crate and Barrel click here for a link. FYI, Crate and Barrel has some pretty great containers this year, so do check them out.
