For a side door at Filoli which is rarely used, I loved this idea of lining the staircase with overflowing terracotta containers. Maybe this is an idea for our own houses to bring some life to abandoned entries? I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend in this gorgeous weather and have a great 4th of July!

Container Gardening

I can hardly contain myself at our local nursery. I will share some of our containers.

I just read your posts on Filoli gardens and house, how glorious!! spectacular gardens. Every chance i have, I visit gardens nad these are spectacular....It males it difficult to go and work on my own garden ...
It is pretty! And we have some of that at Linderhof! I remember in one of Carolyne Roehm's books she did that at her house with pansies -- stunning!
And affordable to the pocketbook of anyone! So many ideas you have to have lots of $$$$ to make it happen -- this you don't!
IMMENSELY important those pots FLAIR.
Entering, using wider-to-narrower, creates greater depth to doorways.
Choosing a consistent pot style/color, most often, creates the best display.

Very inspiring! I've been working on mine the past 2 days!
Oh my.. just this morning.. mom & i were discussing what to do with the staircase at the entrance of our home.. and she came up with the same idea... it didnt fit in my head..
Now I can see what she was saying.. it simply looks gorgeous... I truly needed this inspiration today!!
Thanks for the fab filoli coverage-its been really useful.

Curiously colourful and great idea. Happy 4th July from London.
I love your posts on Filoli. Like your Petit Trianon posts, they are fun and informative and a welcome break when I get home from work. I hope you are enjoying the summer. David.
Beautiful picture with the lovely terra cotta!
And the Filoli Gardens are... wow!
