Step 1 · Concept

Assess your space and climate

Identify sunlight hours, available square footage, and wind exposure. Tailor container sizes and materials to fit budget while preserving aesthetics in a pastel, calming palette.

Step 2 · Design

Plan layouts with purpose

Layer vertical space with trellises, stacking pots for airflow, and a color-coordinated wheel of plants. Favor compact perennials and edible herbs for year-round interest.

Choose containers and soil

Lightweight, durable planters in pastel hues pair with breathable soil mixes and efficient irrigation. Use self-watering options for busy urban lifestyles.

Start with resilient varieties

Compact tomatoes, herbs, microgreens, nasturtiums, and edible flowers perform well in containers. Maintain a pastel-themed bed to keep the space visually soothing.
