I have spring on my mind!🌼


In my region, the Pacific Northwest, I do my flower pots around Mother's Day. The temperatures are a little warmer and of course there is plenty of rain.


I am a little late to the March party, but I would like to share some container garden ideas I have found for inspiration!

Let's have some fun!🌼














Why not add a touch of whimsy to your garden?

Boots add that perfect charm!🌼

A wheelbarrow makes the perfect plant container.

The rustier the better!🌼

So easy, so clever.

A washbasin simply hung on a shepherds hook, VOILA!🌼

Get out your paintbrushes and go wild painting old coffee or paint cans for a colorful display! 🌼

Surround your planters with painted rocks! So fun to do!

Use outdoor acrylic paints then spray with a clear coat.🌼

I love this idea!

Simply remove the seat and fill with a planter or moss liner as shown. Or even set a container on the chair seat. Make sure to paint your chair a fun color!🌼

I have a garden bed that has very rocky soil and nothing grows there. These container trees might be just the trick!🌼
