I’ve been dreaming and scheming and implementing the final touches to my new yard the past couple of weeks. The last step has been my containers, both window boxes and pots.
I can’t wait to show you how they grow and change over the season! I fell in love with container gardens about 20 years ago. I love the amazing colors and textures that just exude life in any size space! I love the fact that you can create your own private “Garden Of Eden” on a patio, terrace, balcony, front porch, or backyard! Anywhere and almost instantly!
Potted Garden
I adore all of the color in this one! So pretty! Truly all this pot would need is consistent water and it will bloom all summer!
Of course this is a spring porch with the tulips but WOW! Amazing!

This one, made of old tubs, looks completely natural with wild flowers growing in them.
Flower Boxes
I am a HUGE fan of Flower boxes! They add so much charm and natural beauty to a home!

Do you feel intimidated to start a container garden? There’s no need to. There are a plethora of blogs with great info. Even for the novice!
A great rule to follow is the Thriller, Filler, Spiller guide. This blog is a great source for this model.
I was so happy to find this site! It has an extensive list for the plants that will grow best in sun, part-sun, and shade. This is the main way to insure that your pots thrive! Determine how much sun the area should expect before purchasing your plants!
