Tanner’s Eye-Candy Containers

by Rebecca Sweet




Another visit to Freeland and Sabrina Tanner’s Napa Valley garden last weekend provided me with another feast of visual delights.  This time in the form of the many different containers throughout their garden – each one brimming with unusual plants, each one a mini work of art.


Enjoy!

OH REBECCA, take me with you! This is delicious.

I’ve looked at the photos a dozen times and find something new with each go over.

Thanks, thanks,

Love,

I love all the different plants they grow, the range of pot styles. It gives such a clear sense of how obsessed and talented these two are!

I guess I am a container geek, but I didn’t know this until recently. Unusual container combinations excite me and I love the ones you have displayed.

Oh my gosh!!!! Are those tillandsias in the first pic?

They look like tillandsias, but they’re the amazing Puya plants (Annie’s Annuals sells them & has some giant specimens also) – aren’t they amazing?!! They have these insanely turqoise-blue flowers, too (as if they needed anything to make them cooler than they are, right?)

Just how big IS their garden, anyway? I’m starting to think you could start a new blog with nothing but pictures from their garden.

Beautiful color/texture mixes. They just lure you in for a closer look.
