Yesterday, I showed some photos of the edible wall I saw at the Los Angeles Garden Show. Here are a few more pictures…

Several of the displays featured container gardens. Here are a few of my favorites:

This container garden was called "Vegetable Table" and was designed by Jane Barlam Designs. It was a wire window box filled with Jerusalem sage, strawberries and oregano sitting on a vintage table. It had a piped drainage system to catch the run off into a water can…

This display garden featured all reclaimed containers. Everything was found at the salvage yard. I loved the rusty steel box!
