The Danes are known for their sleek and modern Scandinavian designs, efficiency and innovation. Denmark is home to the inventor of the LEGO bricks you may have played with as a child, Ole Kirk Kristiansen, and other notable people such as writer Hans Christian Andersen. And the appreciation for plants and gardens is obvious no matter where you look, with residents growing plants in even the smallest spaces in front of their homes.
As we toured garden centers during the International Garden Centre Congress in August, we saw many container plantings that were reflective of the Danish culture, style and even innovation. Here is a selection of the containers that caught attendees’ attention.
