Welcome to Planter on the Side Blogspot!

Sunny Lambeth Allen and Teresa Daugherty Hechenbleikner formed Planters on the side in 2008 out of a passion and desire to share our planting knowledge with Charlotte and surrounding area. We were asking God to reveal a career that would allow us to tap our gifts and truly enjoy work. Our vision began to take form and everything fell into place which we took as a sign that we were on the right track. We create container gardens using organic products and mostly locally grown plant material. Our work includes a variety of plants from herbs and annual flowers to trees, shrubs and perennials. Now we service clients from Charleston, SC to Lake Norman, NC. We hope you enjoy our gardening information and pictures of our beautiful creations!

Fall Planting

Wow, it seems like fall will never arrive in Charlotte! We have had a few cool days and evenings but not much. Today was 80 degrees and as we planted one of our clients in our jeans we longed for shorts. If you are planning your fall pots and gardens, Rountree Plantation and Royal Gardens have some beautiful plant materials and planters. We are using many varieties of mums, pansies, violas, snapdragons, grasses, wirevine, creeping jenny, lemon sedum, rosemary, thyme, sage, to name just a few inspiring plants. Use orange, gourds, pumpkins, hay and cornstalks to celebrate the season. Get creative and pray for fall weather! Oh, and Happy Halloween!
