Lifestyle photographer and gardener Mette Krull gathers pots around doors, staircases, and outbuildings to keep everything at hand for balmy moments spent outdoors. Her plant portraits are hugely popular on Instagram @krullskrukker); let’s take a closer look at her garden:

The shrub Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’ will eventually outgrow this container, in which case it will move into Mette’s garden.

Mette has a talent for tablescapes, mixing the unusual with the edible.

Mint, lemon verbena, and the glaskål (Danish for kohlrabi) are balanced by a wandering Ajuga reptans.

The crinkly leaves of a three-year-old wasabi plant try to escape from an urn in the greenhouse.

Plants that aren’t supposed to like pots do seem to like Mette’s pots.

“The little shed” in the garden, with flower heads of valerian reaching for the roof.

Lilac and olive trees frame the black tool shed.

A terra cotta rhubarb forcer is given an extra role as a tray for seedlings.
