Patio Gardens
Stylish container planting ideas for patios, balconies and courtyards.
Patio gardens prove you do not need a large plot — containers, climbers and compact plants can create a lush outdoor room. Focus on watering, pot size and a mix of evergreen structure with seasonal colour.
Design tips
- Use fewer, larger pots for impact and more stable watering.
- Combine a thriller, filler and spiller in each key container.
- Include at least one evergreen pot for year-round structure.
- Group containers to create microclimates and easier watering routes.
- Add vertical interest with wall planters or a compact climber.
