  • The first step is to clean up the flower bed in the spring.  I did any weeding necessary, and raked up pine cones, needles and leaves in the area.
  • I then gathered terra cotta pots in several sizes from  just a few inches to medium to extra large.
  • I cleaned up the pots with a little with hot soapy water.  I never use bleach as I love them weathered and with salt deposits.
  • I line up my pots upside down to make sure I have enough pots for the edging.  After I have the correct line up, I dig the pots down into the dirt about 2 inches.
  • I like the idea of lining them up smallest to largest, but they could be all the same size too.
  • Then fill in around the pots with a little potting soil. Now I just have to wait for the perennials to fill in.

Setting Up a Terra Cotta Pot Edging

For the last two summer seasons, I have set up a terra cotta pot flower bed edging under a large spruce tree by our deck. The area under the tree receives filtered sunlight on one side ...»
and a few hours of midday full sun. Perennials that grow well for me here are hostas, Lady's Mantle, astilbes and sedums. Occasionally I add a few impatiens.

This is my first container planting of 2012

Besides a terra cotta pot and some violas, I added a vintage, rusty bottle capper and vintage Bobby Burns soda bottle.

  • Isn't this edge pretty? Trust me, this is very easy to do. All you need are three tools you likely already have on hand. 6
  • This was the before. Does this look more like what you have in your own yard? Let's fix this right up!
  • This is a simple half moon edger. Make a nice fresh cut along the grass part of your edges in a nice smooth arc.
  • Once the cut is made, trench out the soil with a hand held garden shovel and mound it away from the edge. Trim the grass along the edge horizontally and vertically to get that nice crisp haircut look.
  • The trench allows for water run off and soil falling, and the shadow just creates a really dazzling finish. 3
  • I created a fun little chart that displays the process a little better. Come check out all 4 steps as well as many other after shots at:
