Arranging Your Patio Garden

Arbor Day is around the corner! It makes us wonder: could you imagine a home without plants? Plants breathe live into our homes and make us feel more connected with our beautiful environment. Spring is all about growing new life in our outdoor spaces - even on our backyard patios! Here are five containers you need for your patio garden this season:

Ceramic PotCeramic pots reflect in the sunlight and add a pop of color to your outdoor space. Try complementary colors such as a blue pot dedicated to a lemon tree (which, by the way, smell delicious).

Clementine Box
Eat your way through a juicy box of clementines, and when you’re finished, recycle the box for your patio. Not only are clementine boxes a perfect fit for flowers, but they also add a rustic appeal to your space. Plant hyacinths or sunflowers, which thrive best with lots of sun and water.

Tall Containers
Tall containers made of glass create an elegant appeal for your patio area. They’re ideal for tall bloom such as tulips and can be set as a centerpiece on your outdoor table or along the ledge of your patio.

Terrarium
A terrarium allows for a self-sufficient environment and is great for succulents and tropical plants.

Pitcher
Pitchers weren’t just made for lemonade - they also make great plant holders! Add dark colored plants for contrast, such as purple shamrock, and don’t forget to add drainage holes for watering.

Plantscape Your Patio

Summer isn’t over yet, which means there’s still time to plantscape your patio to perfection! If you’re looking for ways to accent your outdoor space with elements of nature, then consider the following ideas:

Set up a variety. With so many shapes and sizes available, why not create an assortment of pots? Buy some big ones, small ones, a few round ones, and maybe a rustic one too! Fill these pots with ornamental grasses and other types of plants to suit your personal style.

Add height. You don’t need a fence to create privacy and protection for your patio - all you really need are a few tall shrubs. So, strategically place these large greens around the space to protect it from wind, provide shade, and add privacy.

Give it a scent. Fill your pots with scented plants like lilies and lavender to transform your space into an outdoor oasis. These smells will touch your senses in a way that will help you relax and unwind after a busy day. Not to mention, your guests will love them as well!

Incorporate color. You can make your beautiful patio even more stunning by adding colorful details. Try using complementary colors by pairing violets and dahlias with orange or blue pillows for your lounge chairs.

Add water. Aquatic plants, such as arrowhead and water lily, can bring a sense of serenity to your outdoor space. To achieve this style, simply fill a large pot with water and place these plants inside - watch them float as you enjoy a peaceful evening in the summer air.
