Guide The Eye With A Pair Of Planter Boxes
Walking down a garden path with matching planters on each side looks really fancy. It gives your yard a formal European vibe without cutting it off.
Using the same type of planter and plants makes the space look even bigger. You can use tall pink roses in metal planters for a romantic feel, or big terracotta pots with tall cannas or phormiums for a Mediterranean style.
Fill A Planter Box With Homegrown Produce
Planters aren’t just for flowers, they’re perfect for growing yummy veggies too! Beans, carrots, cucumbers, and peppers all love growing in containers with good drainage and good soil.
You can plant one type of veggie in each container if you want. Most veggies need at least 6 inches of soil, but bigger is better. It means less watering and tastier veggies.
A big rectangular planter can be like a mini veggie garden. You can plant in rows for a classic look, or mix in flowers like marigolds and nasturtiums to keep pests away.
