These classy El Cazaar pots are from www.thethirdnature.co.uk . The pots were designed for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show last year.

Prices for the large pot start at £130.00.
www.thethirdnature.co.uk have an amazing range of contemporary garden products - well worth a visit.
The reLEAF from www.sabz.fr is a stylish and simple way to use available rainwater to water your container plants. The aluminium leaf shapes are cleverly designed to direct rainwater as well as providing an interesting sculptural feature.
Available in three colours - blue, brown and orange.
The Chinese Redbud, Cercis chinensis Avondale, is a great tree for small spaces. Its pink pea like flowers are in blossom, covering bare stems. The Chinese Redbud makes a small multi-stemmed tree or shrub that carries heart shaped leaves that are bronze/burgundy when young, green in summer and turning yellow in the autumn.
If grown in a large container it needs a well drained loam based compost and positioned in a sheltered sunny spot.
Finding things for children to do in the garden is OK if you have space but for those with small yards or balconies it can be difficult.
The Designer Growing Kits from www.hi-grow.co.uk could solve this problem. These designer planters are available in three designs - George Giraffe, Pebbles and Grass with ladybird, and cost £19.99 each.
'The STICKLEBAG DESIGNER GROWING KIT comprises an illustrated growing bag, an inner lining bag, a set of 3 1.4metre collapsable bamboo canes, a triple cane topper/connector and a compressed fertilized compost disc which re-hydrates to 30 litres of peat free growing medium.'
