Flower Towers are something relatively new in the display of trailing plants.
Thompson Morgan supplied this photograph and have an advisory service for those interested in the ‘Maxi Tower’ large structure.

Classical Urns are still the best way of displaying clipped shrubs and topiary.

Hanging Baskets and window boxes have not changed greatly in design for many seasons. They now have better watering systems to keep the plants looking at their best.

Alpine troughs are a traditional method of displaying small plants that repay close examination. Troughs can be raised to eye level or used in parts of the garden where there is no suitable soil. Old sinks are also used for this form of display so look out in reclamation yards. See an old strawberry planter in use on Alpine containers.
