Custom Baskets & Container Planting
Let us bring your flower dreams to life. Our custom planting program is one of the most popular services at Columbia Nursery, and it’s easy to see why. Whether you’re refreshing your porch pots or decking out your entire garden, we’ll help you create stunning container displays suited to your space, sunlight, and style. Check out our idea portfolio.
How It Works
1. Bring in your own containers or choose from our wide selection of baskets, ceramic pots, and planters.
2. Tell us what you love — colors, styles, sun or shade — and we’ll design accordingly.
3. We custom plant it for you. Your containers are filled with vibrant annuals, lush foliage, and long-blooming combinations grown in our own greenhouses.
4. Pick up when ready. We’ll give you a timeline and care instructions to keep your arrangements thriving all season.
Why Choose Custom Planting?
- Save time and avoid the mess
- We plant your baskets early in the season & grow them indoors. By the time you pick them up, they are mature & full of blooms.
- Get expertly designed containers tailored to your space
- Enjoy longer-lasting, better-performing displays
- Support local greenhouse-grown flowers and foliage
