Bring your porch, patio, or entryway to life with custom planted containers from Designs by Lee. Beautiful planters can instantly add color, texture, and personality to your outdoor space.

Whether you're decorating your front entrance, brightening a patio, or creating seasonal displays for your home or business, our team can help you design containers that look beautiful and thrive in our local climate.

Bring Your Planters In

Many customers choose to bring their own containers to the garden center, and our team will plant them for you using carefully selected seasonal plants.

If you prefer to plant them yourself, we’re always happy to help guide you through the process and assist you in choosing the right plants and combinations.

We make it easy whether you want us to plant your containers or you’d like to create them yourself.

The Three Elements of a Great Container

A beautiful container design typically includes three types of plants:

Thrillers

The focal point of the container. These plants add height and structure, such as ornamental grasses or dramatic foliage plants.

Fillers

These plants create fullness and add color throughout the middle of the container.

Spillers

Trailing plants that spill over the edges of the container to soften the look and create movement.

Our team can help you select the perfect combination so your container looks balanced, full, and eye-catching.

Summer containers include vibrant annuals and lush foliage plants.

Fall containers highlight mums, ornamental grasses, and autumn textures.

Winter containers use evergreens, berries, and natural accents for seasonal décor.
