When Design Within Reach launched its National Planter Project, the company sent planters to five different landscape designers across the country and asked them to create an outdoor arrangement specific to their climate.

Landscape designer Mark Word of Austin, Texas, paired a bonsai bald cypress with mood moss in the all-weather Gratia Orb fiberglass planter that he created for the Hotel Saint Cecilia, above.

You may not have Word’s mastery of plants, but you can get a good deal on the Gratia Orb, which is on sale at DWR for $325, down from $650. For further inspiration, see what the other designers came up with by clicking here and scanning for posts labeled ‘National Planter Project.’
