Some great info here. I find pruning can be very therapeutic. It takes time and patience. It requires you to step back and look at the natural beauty and balance of nature. Often just a little persuasion goes a long way.

This is not a compact garden by any means, but it is a challenge I have taken on for a family friend. These are the before and after photos.

Here is a custom basket I made for my mom. She needed something that is drought tolerant, since she often forgets to water. So, I made her a shade basket to hang from her back fence and enjoy from her kitchen window. I used Sea Soil so that it nourishes the plants and retains moisture longer. I also chose to place the plants in such a way that it doesn't need to be turned. The coleus will grow upwards in the background; the New Guinea impatiens will bloom beautifully filling the centre; and the ipomea (sweet potato vine) will flow downwards in the front.
