Group Therapy and why you need to group your pots!

A wise (probably stylish) person once said, "strength in repetition." This adage applies to all manner of things, whether it's a design idiom or a physical practice- when you intentionally repeat a process- you will create a stronger outcome.

Implementing groupings of planters, pots and jars is the perfect illustration of this philosophy. Creating a striking entrance, abundant corner or using a grouping to delineate spaces is easily done with a thoughtful edit of ceramic vessels and complementary plants.

This month, we break it down for you, and take you through the ins and outs of Group Therapy to bolster your STYLING and GARDENING PROWESS.

On The Edge
No structural landscaping, or fencing, required. These trough-style planters are used to great effect creating a clear boundary between a tiled patio and a gravelled area. The use of tall cacti only works to reinforce the idea and screen the two spaces, nature's wonder-wall.

Colour Therapy
Streamlining your planters into one colourway is the simplest styling trick to lean on.

By keeping to a monochrome palette you can use (almost) any style of pot together and get that curated look.

On Mass
Sticking to the same planter is a great way to avoid a cluttered, haphazard appearance (unless, of course, that's your vibe!).

It's worth noting a variance in size is a must to create interest. We LOVE the use of a singular species in these pots which DOUBLES-DOWN on the whole Group Therapy experience.

The Shape Of Things
One shape, many ways! Here a softer look is achieved with varied plantings, but notice- the colour tone of the greenery is eye-catchingly similar, a verdant presentation of connection and harmony.

Mixed Emotions
This grouping is wonderful in many ways.

By using the inherent features of the paved stairs, this gardener has been able to create brilliant scale with just a handful of classic terracotta pots. The use of culinary plantings, such as citrus and herbs is a genius way to fortify the sense of pattern and intention.

And, MOST IMPORTANTLY it's super handy when dinnertime rolls around, again.
