Some Clever Container Ideas…
So with spring here and everyone is in the mood for planting their gardens, I thought that I would share with you some clever ideas for container gardens. This year I opted not to plant but just a few things in the ground. I chose to do my gardening in containers.
What I did is scoured estate sales and yard sales for different containers to plant in, I didn’t spend more than three dollars for each container. My favorite one is a large urn that had a broken edge on one side and I really didn’t care that it was broken since the plants will cover it plus I only paid a dollar for it! Woo Hoo love me a bargain…
Since I love dark red, I painted everything a deep red then went over it with a lite coat of black to make it look aged, a couple of things I used I got for free. My next project is the brick wall space between my front windows. I want to find a small wooden pallet and hang it on the wall space and do my additional plants between the slats.
Of course, I bought all my plants here at Morrison’s, since we have some of the best quality plants in town! I know, I have been out and looked at some of the big box stores and seen what they are selling. The thing about what we do here is, we receive our plants in late January, then we tend to them every day, watering, fertilizing and just basic maintaining till they are ready for sale in mid-April.
With the weather acting as it has over the last month most people have been holding off on planting their gardens till now, so when you are ready to buy all your plants go check out the competition and see what they are selling, then compare to what we are selling and I know that you will see the difference.
Too everyone! Happy gardening and remember to share your garden photos with us here at Morrison’s, we love to see what you have done, we will post thaat you share with us on our Facebook page… Just email us your pictures.
Thanks,

Yes I have a 5 foot pink Flamingo in my front yard.. LOL
The large urn is my favorite container.
Just a selection of containers
This is what I am going to do on my brick wall
This is neat, it's an old magazine rack
This little bike sure is clever
Purses? Who would have ever thought that these would
look darling? We can even see these going down the aisle
at a wedding
This is a cool idea too for your front porch.
Use an old desk
How about old boots and shoes?
I love the use of the old makeup case. The reflection of
the plants is cool
Using colorful buckets
I
am sure that you can come up with some clever ideas yourself. So go out hunting
for different and unusual things to use this year…
