Jennifer Rust Botanicals - Containers

JENNIFER RUST BOTANICALS
DESIGNS OUTDOOR CUSTOM PLANT CONTAINERS WITH LONGEVITY IN MIND

Our containers have longevity by using a mix of perennials and various seasonal plants for color and texture. Planting season in the Atlanta area is cyclical and focused on spring planting (April / May), mid-summer refresh (July / August) and fall planting and updates (October / November) to make it through winter months. We also do holiday containers with live plants, live decor and natural accents as well. With thoughtful seasonal planting and maintenance outdoor containers may absolutely be enjoyed year-round.

TABLETOPS, TERRARIUMS, SUCCULENTS AND PRESERVED MOSS DESIGN

There is so much selection available in tropical plants, succulents and preserved products that the days are over when decorating was complete when one green plant was added in the corner. Live plants are integral to our living spaces now and there is a wide range of low maintenance (think terrariums) to absolutely no maintenance (think moss) plant design options.

SOURCING THE BEST CONTAINERS

Half of the appeal of a custom plant creation is the container itself. Quality, scale and size are key to achieve a long lasting and successful design. JRB can source containers for your specific space or use your own. We work with key suppliers that consistently offer quality products demonstrated to withstand winter and summer elements as well as commercial durability.

HOW WE WORK AT
JENNIFER RUST BOTANICALS

Site Assessment

Send pictures of your space to Jennifer. Take special note of light exposure and water access and we will arrange a call to discuss your needs. We can also arrange an onsite visit to evaluate more specific recommendations and plans for a $100 consult fee.

CONTAINER SELECTION

JRB will source containers for you or we can plant in your own. Size, scale, quality and design all matter when it comes to containers. It is especially important to have outdoor containers that can withstand winter cold (freeze) and hot conditions for plants in the summer as well as public use.

INSTALLATION

Jennifer Rust Botanicals will install during a time that is not intrusive to business or family life. We will bring a team, if needed, and make it convenient for you.  You can be as involved as you would like to be.

SEASONAL CHANGE

Seasonal plant changeouts typically occur in the Atlanta area in April, July/August and October. Holiday decorating with live plants, wreaths, table top centerpieces and décor may also be arranged.

WARRANTY & PLANT CARE

Plants are not under warranty when they are planted as there are so many uncontrolled variables that impact a plants health, i.e. water, disease, heat and freeze conditions. JRB takes time to select the best plants for a given space and its conditions. JRB may be scheduled for regular or seasonal checkups to fertilize, check on plants and change out seasonal plants as needed.

MAINTENANCE

In addition to installation, JRB offers a regular container maintenance service if plant care and getting your hands dirty is not your strength. Typically planting months are centered around April, July/August and October/November.  More regular maintenance however may be scheduled for biweekly or monthly site visits to maintain containers throughout the year or just during growing seasons.  Maintenance includes additional fertilizing, trim back if necessary, deadheading and spraying to keep your containers lush.

COSTS

Project costs are based on time (to source containers, materials and installation) and materials for the installation. Further visits, maintenance, and plant change outs are separate fees.
