Spring is a time when the world slowly awakens from its winter slumber. It’s when nature slowly begins her silent transformation. There is no definitive switch between the seasons, instead it’s lots of small signals that catch us off-guard over time. It’s when you step outside and realise that the air has shifted and the cold, biting winds of winter have become warmer and gentler. The trees, that were bare just moments ago, now have branches dotted with succulent green buds. The light, now softer and more diffused, lingers a little longer in the evenings, draping everything it touches in a warm amber embrace. The birds start to sing a little louder as if calling the season forward.

A large part of cultivating a garden and caring for plants is knowing how to work with the rhythms of the seasons and aligning with those natural cycles. All plants are different and have their own sacred schedule. A time for sowing. A time for growing. And a time for rest.

Spring planting is an intentional process that requires careful planning to ensure that plants are given the best possible chance to thrive. Plant care tips must be followed so that the soil is well-prepared and ready for planting, the temperature is at optimal levels for the plants you intend to grow, and the timing is right to provide the best possible conditions in terms of light and moisture.

Early spring is ideal for planting hardy vegetables like spinach, kale, chard, carrots and peas. It’s also the time for herbs such as basil, chives, oregano, rosemary and thyme, as well as plants and flowers that can withstand the slightly colder spring nights. These may include daffodils, tulips, hyacinth and peonies, along with ornamental grasses.

By following these gardening tips and planting with the seasons, we can create a garden that flourishes naturally, in harmony with the world around us.

Garden planters not only look stylish but they allow for flexibility, making it easy to experiment with layouts, adjust plant placement with the seasons and move with the light, ensuring the best possible conditions for your plants.

Whether using small terracotta planters for herbs or an elevated garden planter stand for cascading greenery, container gardening brings the beauty of plants to patios, balconies, and doorsteps. Our handcrafted planters made from natural, reclaimed and recycled materials like terracotta, clay, aged zinc and reclaimed iron, bring a timeless aesthetic to any space, indoors and out.

Whether handmade in Vietnam using traditional coiling techniques, etched by hand, or coated with a reactive glaze, all our garden planters are designed by skilled makers and craftsmen using age-old techniques.

If you crave the calming effect of plants but don’t have time for daily tending, choose hardy, drought-tolerant plants that thrive with minimal fuss. Heucheras, sedum, small evergreens, and herbs like oregano or sage do well in pots and need little watering. Add natural mulch, and group similar plants together for best effect.

By beginning with intention—whether it’s flavour, colour, drama, or ease—you can create a planted space that feels like an extension of your lifestyle. And with the right vessels, from tactile planters to elegant indoor planter stands, each plant becomes part of a story you’re crafting about your home.
