If you have containers - be bold. Big is best for impact and the plants. This acer screens and blends beautifully with the brick wall.

Delicate ferns contrast with the chunky ironstone.

A dull, too-narrow raised bed with no plants.

Mismatched containers in 3 colours, red brick, yellow brick wood and slate. Too many materials.
