Five lush winter planters that will last until spring

Fresh
The square planters influenced the linear design of these symmetrical showpieces. Jim avoided a traditional palette, choosing instead vibrant yellow and chartreuse pops of colour. Boxwood tips, carefully cut to size, were layered around the edge of the container, followed by a layer of oregonia inside the boxwood. They create a frame to hold the bright African greens in the middle of the arrangement. Curly willow sticks provide height and curvy appeal.
