Gather with Karen Chapman, Jim Peterson, Rebecca Sweet, and Denise Kelly for a lively, idea-packed conversation designed to spark inspiration.
Do you dream of creating Pinterest-worthy container gardens? Are you frustrated that no matter what you try, your pots either fizzle out mid-season or just look like a jumble of odd plants rather than a cohesive, dramatic medley? You're not alone. Karen has received dozens of emails from homeowners just like you: frustrated, disappointed, and at a loss for what is going wrong.
Perfect for gardeners of all experience levels
Karen has created hundreds of dramatic combinations for countless satisfied clients, taught container design to nursery professionals as well as keen home gardeners, and had her designs published in some of the top magazines and books in the United States. Failure is not an option. Every planter has to look fabulous every time, and I've learned the tricks to ensure success.
Hallmarks of a well-designed container
- Rich layers of foliage and flowers that completely fill out the container, yet don't look overgrown
- A cohesive color palette, not a confusing mish-mash
- Exciting plant combinations, with a few surprises
- Longevity, no more petering out mid-summer
- Gloriously lush and truly abundant, even when newly planted
- Well-balanced in form and scale
Get ready to create abundant containers that look lush, balanced, and intentional all season long.

Karen Chapman
Born in England, Karen grew up with a trowel in her hand. After moving to the Pacific Northwest in 1996 she joined one of the leading garden nurseries as a garden plant specialist. Helping hundreds of customers create beautiful combinations of plants to enhance their outdoor living spaces was always a delight. Ten years later she established her design firm Le jardinet in order to provide a service that takes all the time, stress and guesswork out of the design process.
