Summer container styling, designed for the Main Line.
Custom container and urn installations for Main Line estates. We design, source, plant, and rotate — from the front entrance to the back terrace where you take evening martinis.
Three ways we work

how it works
Five Steps. A Thoughtful Process.
# 01
Consultation
A walk of your property with one of our seasonal stylists. We take a walk around your property and listen to your needs and preferences.
# 02
Design & Quote
Our seasonal stylist starts designing and prepares a quote based on the conversation from your initial consult.
# 03
Premium Sourcing
Containers from European foundries and small American makers. Plants from growers we’ve used for decades.
# 04
Installation
We hand deliver your containers to their intended spots on your property, and our stylist installs the beautiful display of plants for the season.
# 05
Optional Rotations
Spring, summer, fall, holiday. Quietly maintained on a schedule that works around your household.
It typically takes about 5-7 days for us to source and install locally available material. Special order containers may take longer.

Most summer installations are scheduled within one to two weeks of consultation. Containers we already source are typically planted the same week as design approval. Special container orders coming from Europe will have a longer wait time.
Both. Many clients begin with summer container styling and add annual beds and seasonal rotations once they see how well our styling reads on their property.
Yes. If you’ve spotted something in a magazine, a catalog, or on a friend’s terrace, send a photo. We work with American foundries, European antique dealers, and a small list of trusted makers.
Spring, summer, fall, and holiday rotations are available as a single yearly program. We can add more rotations for holidays like Memorial Day Weekend, July 4th, or special themed events.
Yes. We can create a customized maintenance plan for your containers, as well as watering for containers that may be under eaves and don’t have irrigation.
