Shade Container Inspiration / Front Garden Transformation

Planting containers for shaded areas can be tricky. I want structure, colour and minimal upkeep in this front garden area but my original ideas required too much maintenance. Here I take you through Front Door Pots version 2.0 and explain why I removed certain plants and describe the new plants that have taken their place. I hope this gives you inspiration (and hope) for any shaded areas you have in your garden. Let me know what you think in the comments section.
