Megan Boone of Nature Containers Vintage Garden Art designs in three dimensions, using cast-off objects to showcase succulents and vice-versa. As exemplified by the pick above, Megan brings elegance and whimsy to her artistry by reinterpreting items’ forms and lines.
The Temecula, CA, artist has teamed up with nearby Water Wise Yard Design & Decor to enhance their outdoor showroom with one-of-a-kind container gardens. These are just a sample; Megan’s continually coming up with something new…made from something old.
Megan told me that her choice of stacked crassulas (Crassula perforata) coincidentally echoed the wire basket handle. Perhaps…but talented designers often do things subliminally.

Wouldn’t the palettes above make a great vertical accent for a garden or patio? They could also serve as a privacy screen. Below: I couldn’t resist showing you Leroy, Megan’s bloodhound. The velvety-eared pup accompanies her to work.
