You are so right about these cool, pre-arranged six-packs of plants. It’s so helpful when someone helps you design your containers. Thanks for stopping by. Teresa

Also like the idea of selling 6 pk combo- makes gardening a no-brainer for those who are not that inclined!

Watering more frequently — that makes sense — since the fabric would be breathable. The designer I’m working with is experimenting with putting in some kind of a water-holding liner, at least in the lower section of the planter.

Thanks for your comment. The jute container is an economical way to grow plants. But you will need to water frequently. And the sides jut out a bit when you plant. But for casual settings, it is quite nice. Hope to see you again. All best, Teresa

Hi Fern. I agree. I really thought the plant combinations were quite nice. Thanks for the message. Teresa

I like that they sell the flowers in six packs so that you can still plant them how you want them in your own pot with your own favorite potting soil, etc.
