Custom Design

The popularity of container gardening or ‘potscaping’ as it has come to be known, is not surprising. Requiring very little space and maintenance, containers have the same elements as a garden: colour, form, fragrance and texture. Versatility also plays a part in container gardening’s appeal; using completely different plants in each season will offer impact throughout the year.

No matter what the season or occasion, for indoors or out, Sheridan’s Custom Design Centre will create inspiring arrangements with distinct designs that compliment your home. Our talented designers will create inspiring custom arrangements, wreaths, centrepieces and more!
