This container was filled with a display of Muscari aucheri 'White Magic' (grape hyacinth). This clump-forming, bulbous perennial is great for a container and can then be planted out at the front of a border.

Contrasting garden and backdrop. The small, raised bed, the rectangular shape of the lawn and the shapes, forms and flower colors of the plants chosen deliberately separate the existing garden from its woodland setting. The cultivated garden appears to be a protected, exotic area.

Pyxis (Container for Personal Objects)
Greek; Athens, 730-720 BCE
The handle of this vase takes the form of horses standing side by side, suggesting a team for a four-horse chariot. Ownership of horses was an important indicator of financial status, since only the wealthy could afford to possess and train them.

A container filled with Tulipa ‘Brown Sugar’ (tulip). The flowers are sturdy and sweetly scented. It really feels like spring when the tulips bloom.

The rear garden. Unlike the public display of the front garden, the rear garden should be thought of as a private, outside room used as an extension of the home in summer. Consider the variety of uses to which you and your family will put the garden and try to include as many as possible in your rear garden plan.
