Had enough of winter? Think spring!
Yes, it’s a way off, but warmer weather lies ahead and you can at least dream of how nice it will be.
To help get in the mood, think about a simple container garden that will brighten up your home and bring a smile to your face when spring does arrive.
Container gardens are an easy way to enhance a small space. Matching containers placed on each side of a stairway or doorway can create a bookend look. Grouping a small cluster of different sizes of containers also provides a pleasing effect.
Select plants that complement or contrast with the color of your front door. For example, with a red door, choose red geraniums, salvia or petunias. For a high-contrast look with a blue door, try planting easy-care golds and yellows, such as zinnias, marigolds or celosia.
If floor space is at a premium, try a hanging basket or two.
