Buell arranged our succulent and conifer containers last night. The arrangement looks great, hunh? Finishing that arrangement feels like the beginning of summer, our garden's best season.

These little pots make a big feature at the center of our upper gravel terrace, and a strong focal point at the top of the stairs from the stock tank terrace. In many cases, we advocate using large containers to anchor your potted arrangements, but enough small containers can have a real impact. These containers range from around 6 inches to around 20 inches in height. Most of them are hand-coiled Vietnamese pots with an ash glaze, but there are a few odds and ends that we've picked up over the years.
