To welcome guests inside, zinc cubes featur- ing more foxtail ferns, as well as white Angelonia and verbena, were selected to distinguish the planters from the existing green landscaping. "We didn't want pots with fluffy flowers near the water.

The backyard features a natural canvas boasting breathtaking ocean views and a generous patio. Con- tainers in varying shapes and materials were curated and strategically placed to help define the different sections of the space. The teak dining furniture afforded the perfect opportunity to pair teak Gommaire contain- ers, while Domani Boston and Texel pots delineate the fire pit area and the entrance to the house. "The earth tones of the fieldstones paired perfectly with the wood element of the containers," says Winston. Simple and textural boxwoods with 'Diamond Frost' euphorbia and natural grasses were chosen to com- plement, rather than overwhelm, the natural land- scape. "The perennial grass gives a beach feeling, while the vessel is simple, strong, and clean," says Winston, noting that the euphorbia feels like a white cloud. "The vessels paired with the home's architecture make it feel modern." The creative use of material and texture cleverly defines the separate spaces around the home while still keeping the look natural and cohesive. "If you are going to be in your backyard, you may as well make it beautiful," Winston says. With peo- ple spending more time in their homes and yards, it seems like an ideal time to think about adding a lovely container garden to your home to enjoy while you sow your dreams of future adventures. winstonflowers.com Winston uses high- quality planters and a palette of white and green for the planters. nshoremag.com/nshorehome/
