Lightweight Pots
Presenter: Melissa King
Episode: 24 (13th October 2007)
Can you imagine if every time you looked up at a high rise building you saw balconies overflowing with greenery?
With increasing numbers of Australians down-sizing their yards or moving to apartments, container gardening has become the perfect solution to softening the urban jungle look
One of the best things about gardening in a small space is that you can chop and change your pots from season to season. This way you can get the latest look or take advantage of fashions that make gardening less effort.
One of the greatest challenges of apartment gardening is the effort it takes to move heavy pots around, or worse yet lug them up multiple flights of stairs.
Taking the heavy weight out of container gardening makes it all the more attractive and finally there is a perfect solution in the Northcote range of lightweight planters aptly named naturaLITE.
The pots are made using a secret, lightweight recipe of fibreglass and cement to create solid, strong and durable garden pots at a fraction of the weight of traditional concrete pots.
They have all of the decorative appeal without the heavy lifting.
NaturaLITE pots come in 3 natural colours dark lead, light lead and creamy chocolate. There are over 30 different design and colour combinations to choose from, and styles to suit both modern and traditional homes and gardens.
The 'Montreal' collection has an edgier, modern design, with square, round and trough designs, whilst the 'Classic' range is ideal for a traditional or formal look.
When you’re coming up with a planting combination for your pots you have two potions. You can start by choosing the plants and then find the perfect pot or you can start with the ultimate pot and then find the plants to match.
You can have a lot of fun mixing and matching the right pots with the right plants. Experiment with contrasting colours and forms, combine old fashion plants with classic pots or team cutting edge pots with striking modern foliage.
