MarcJames Mews: Container Gardening 1--Trees

logo of Marc-James Mews

We are experimenting planting various types of trees and perennials in large, glazed containers.
Due to the nature of a Mews, most areas are paved. Traditionally, grouping of containers are used in
commercial situations. We are trying to create a more cottage-like atmosphere.
Photographs in this section will be dated to allow visitors to watch our progress and measure
our successes and failures.
