Go potty with planters in a garden full of containers great and small. From terracotta to steel, your container garden can be as formal, colourful or sleek as you like...

Get the look with 5 key essentials:

•  Eye-catching planters These will be the core of your container garden. Large pots - or plinths that raise smaller ones up - add structure and height to the scheme.
• Small pots  Fill these with flowers and place anywhere for instant colour and interest. Smaller pots can be colourfully glazed, galavised steel or wood - anything to suit your scheme.
• Unusual containers Don't just go for pots - use old watering cans, boots, teapots, tins and wheelbarrows to add interest.
• Pot-smart plants Check which varieties grow well in pots - even climbing plants can be based in a large pot.
• Instant greenery Buy pots ready planted with small trees or shrubs for a quick touch of well-established green in your garden or patio.
