Custom container planting at Vale's Greenhouse

Custom Container Week

A Professional Look, Made for Your Space

Don't have time to take a planting course? Bring your containers to Vale's Greenhouse and let our experienced team create a beautiful planting for you.

We carefully select plants to create a combination that suits your container, your style and the location where it will spend the summer.

Bring a container from home, or choose a new container from our selection of high-fired pottery. We'll help you create a finished planting that is ready to take home the same day.

How It Works

Bring It In. We'll Do the Planting.

Bring Your Container

Bring a planter, hanging basket or window box from home. If you need a new container, choose one from our selection of high-fired pottery.

Tell Us About Your Space

Let us know where the container will be placed or hung and the look you would like to create. This helps us choose plants that fit the space.

Take It Home

We'll fill your container with fresh potting mix and plants, then send your finished planting home with you the same day.

Before You Arrive

Think About Where It Will Grow

Before bringing your container in, think about where it will sit or hang for the summer. The amount of sun, shade and protection from the elements will help us recommend plants that are well suited to its location.

After Planting

Give Your New Planting a Good Start

When you take your finished planting home, give it a thorough watering and keep it outside in a protected area while there is still a risk of frost.

During the early spring, you may need to bring the container inside overnight and return it outdoors during the day until the danger of frost has passed.

Follow the fertilizing instructions provided when your container is planted. Proper watering and feeding will help your planting stay healthy and colourful throughout the season.
