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!🌼

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!🌼
