Modern vs. Traditional Containers with Beacon Impatiens
June 11, 2025 | 1 min to read
Step into the Beacon® Impatiens exhibit, where colleagues showcase their expertise in container design through two distinctive approaches: the traditional planting, emphasizing structure and symmetry, and the modern planting, which breaks conventions for a rebellious flair. This immersive experience transforms ordinary planters into contemporary art, encouraging you to recreate similar designs at home using Beacon Impatiens. Here, your trowel becomes a paintbrush, allowing creativity to flourish seasonally.
Step inside Beacon® Impatiens open air exhibit where our canvas is a container and oil paints are replaced by begonias and ivy. Today’s featured artists? Our fellow colleagues who are experts in container design have created inspirational flower displays in two ways. Their traditional planting, which seeks to inspire gardeners with structure and symmetry. And their modern planting, a rule bending container that invites you to paint outside the lines, total rebellion in a pot.
This isn’t your average garden stroll. It’s an inside scoop on the design decisions we made to turn ordinary planters into contemporary art pieces you’d find hanging on the wall of a museum. This design can be easily recreated at home with our Beacon Impatiens and some smart artistic decisions. Your trowel is a paint brush, your container a blank slate where ideas flower, but in this medium, colors grow and interest booms throughout the season.
