Create a North American landscape in your own window box with expert advice.
In short: Learn how to curate a container garden inspired by North American flora. This guide features professional techniques from the lead of the horticultural development team at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, originally presented for a 2012 British Museum exhibition.
This instructional video provides a masterclass in container gardening, drawing on the expertise of Steve Ruddy, who manages garden development at Kew. The project was developed as a companion to the North American Landscape exhibition hosted at the British Museum, which ran from May 10 to November 25, 2012.
By focusing on specific regional themes, the guide demonstrates how to select and arrange plants to evoke a particular geographic aesthetic. It serves as a practical application of botanical design principles, showing how institutional expertise can be translated into accessible home gardening projects.
