Where can I find free design ideas for easy to maintian container gardens?

I'm looking to make an easy to maintain container garden using a large Roman-esque pot. I'm looking for some design ideas that include height in the center with a mound and edging flora. Plant choices that include color and/or fragrance would be excellent as well. This container will sit in a semi-shaded area on the front porch in Southern California.

Where can I find free design ideas for easy to maintian container gardens?
I have used a few of the designs from Better Homes and Gardens.

They are really nice.
Reply:Wow, because you live in So Cal, you have LOTS of choices. A shady location may limit the "fragrance" plants that will grow well. However, since I can't see exactly what your POT looks like, it is hard to say!





Here is what I would suggest: Take your pot to your local plant nursery and have them help you pick out some plants. You can always go to another nursery if you don't like the choices!!





Good Luck!!
