Here at Fine Gardening, we’d love nothing better than to put every single photo we shoot for an article into print. Unfortunately, that would make an impossibly epxpensive and large publication (imagine the shipping costs!). With a little help from the web, however, we can show you four more of the stunning containers Stacie Crooks created for her article Container Designs Built to Last, which appears in Fine Gardening issue #149.

See the extra designs here, and mouse over the plants for more imformation.
