Hack 1 – Introduce bright pots and planters in different sizes and colours Create a playful effect and showcase your plants with the Loft Urban collection. Contrast Loft Urban Round in striking Peach with lush green foliage. Or pair subtle Nudes with eye- catching pink blooms.  Get creative and use the funky Loft Urban Frame to introduce different levels. Make your plants stand out and have fun!  Hack 2 – Add interest to plain walls or fences with wall baskets Take a dull corner and turn it into an outdoor haven with a lick of paint and some Corsica Wall Baskets. You deserve a space for quiet contemplation and what better way than surrounding yourself with the beauty of green and nature. Hack 3 – Find beauty in unexpected places Thanks to Elho it’s possible to have function and form. Drainpipes are an unsightly but necessary reality. Cheer up an ugly aspect with a trio of Green Basics Drainpipe Clickers planted up with colourful campanulas.  The Green Basics Rain Barrel has an integrated planter on top. So you can disguise an unattractive shed or messy wood pile with beautiful flowers - and save precious tap water. Perfect for the design conscious gardener who is also environmentally aware. Elho pots and planters are widely stocked at all good garden centres, retailers and available online. W:www.elho.com                  F:www.facebook.com/elho 13
