The Nicky Haslam Guide to Lining Up the Pots

Do it like Nicky Haslam.

What is Haslam doing ?

.

Copying.

.

Specifically, below, he's lining up pots and statues/plinths, and repeating a minimalist color theme.

.

Copy the copycat.  He's not original.

.

Yet, totally original.

.

Copy, it's the 1st rule of Garden Design.

.

I discovered, Lining up the Pots, while on a tour of historic gardens across Italy decades ago.

.

Been lining them up ever since.

.

Not convinced?

.

Still wanting to be original & unique?

.

If it's beautiful in another garden it will be beautiful in yours.

.

Every site is unique.

.

Price point has no claim to this garden design rule.

.

When choosing your pots to line up they must be so fabulous they can remain empty.  

.

If the pots lining up do not match, their rims must be at the same height.

.

 Liking a good sentence, it's not uncommon for me to bath with Nicky, below.

.

Perhaps you should start bathing with Nicky.
