My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

chives and ivy?

22 years ago

Would these two very different plants co-exist in a pot or will they do each other in?

I'd like to do a tall lolipop topiary with the ivy in a large clay pot completely underplanted with chives. I figure with a little grooming the chives could resemble "grass" under the "tree"...and season my food at the same time.

Whaddaya think?
