I absolutely love planters. There is something intriguing to me about grouping plants in containers to show off their beauty. I had the opportunity to travel to Wisconsin last week and wanted to share some wonderful plant displays that I have seen this summer.
The planters with the old iron and weathered wood were so creative. They look so old and provide a wonderful place to show off favorite plants. When you are planting your containers, let the vines drape over the sides.
Another show-stopper was a display of plants that are planted in rows on a wooden wall. Upon closer inspection, I realized each row was a gutter that had been filled with soil and plants. What a genius idea!
Traditional planters like mine are filled with vines and blooming plants. My front porch has two pairs of planters that stand side by side and are filled with caladiums and coleus. The leaves of these plants have dramatic color and are easy to grow.
Share with me your container gardening ideas.
I love to find new and beautiful ways to show off my favorite plants.
