Jardiniere

Jardiniere J like Jacaranda The jardiniere is a container for flowers that has taken on new forms over the decades and can be seen as the predecessor of the modern flower box or planter. In southwestern Germany, the term Jardiniere is still used today for a simple planter that can be hung on special brackets, for example on balconies or patios. The word itself comes from French and means something like gardener, the term is intended to indicate the freedom to use flowers and other plants in this plant bowl as easily as in a real garden. Before the Art Nouveau era, the jardiniere was an integral part of the interiors of upscale households, such as those fitted with real flowers or other artistic ornaments. At the turn of the century, and thus in the heyday of Art Nouveau, the jardiniere was filled with real flowers more and more, the compact shape of the bowl made it easy to transport around the home. At this time, the term Jardiniere also established itself for the so-called centerpiece, which could be found as an ornamental bowl on every bourgeois dining table and also offered an attractive place for plants of all kinds. Variants made of silver or other metals were particularly common in the original jardiniere; over time, simple and less elegant planters for the interior developed from this.

Jugendstilvase

The vase takes its name from the epoch of Art Nouveau, which influenced architecture and art in Europe at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century and also influenced the design of numerous everyday objects. Even if the term Art Nouveau combines many artistic trends, the incorporation of floral elements in the facades of houses or objects of everyday life is one of the most striking features of this art movement. The application of flowers and flowers on vases was particularly close, because these vessels have been used for many centuries for decoration and offered space for the insertion of flowers. More than a century ago, the Art Nouveau vase is one of the most important ornaments of many households, and has become a real gem even without the use of flowers.

planter

planter P like parallel technology The planter represents a larger version of the classic flower pot, which is used with preferences in the outdoor area and in its shape is often much larger than planters for your own four walls. Most planters are deliberately designed for use on the balcony, terrace or in the garden and are made of weatherproof materials such as clay or rattan, which can be left all year in the wild. The variety of flowers and plants that can be grown and kept in a planter is very large and includes many plants that are otherwise exposed in the garden area. The advantage of the planter is shown here in its large, spatial flexibility, as the tub can be easily converted into another area of the garden or terrace. Should this not be possible without further ado due to the excessive weight or additional weight of the plant, the specialized trade offers aids for targeted transport such as trolleys and boards. It is also particularly popular here not to completely fill planters with soil or granules, but to limit them by an insert. The space between the insert and the edge of the planter can be filled up with much lighter filling materials and thus made visually appealing.

As well as this, a plant trough is mainly used outdoors and is increasingly used in larger gardens; a use on the balcony and terrace is possible, but unusual. In its shape, the plant trough is based on the classic feeding trough for farm animals and therefore has an elongated shape that provides enough space for several flowers and plants. Similar to the classical planter, all garden plants can be found in a plant trough, which are dependent on a small or medium-sized space for their root system and find it in large-scale troughs. Unlike a bucket, the plant trough is not designed for regular transport and already has a solid place in its own garden due to its higher dead weight. Since the trough does not have to be mobile, it can also be completely filled with soil or granules, thus offering even more plants a suitable breeding ground over a larger area. The decision in favor of a plant trough is made by many gardening enthusiasts, above all because of the aesthetic possibility of bringing out individual plants in the home garden in a particularly stylish way, whereby the look of the trough often has a nostalgic effect.
