🌸 Shopping for Outdoor Annuals? Save Money and DIY!
Have you ever looked at those gorgeous hanging baskets and patio planters at the garden center, only to see the price tag? 😳 Sometimes they can be pretty expensive!
Why not create your own for a fraction of the cost?
Here are a few simple steps:
1.First, decide where your planter or basket will live.
2.Check whether that spot gets full sun, partial sun, or shade throughout the day.
3.Head to your local garden center and purchase a flat (or two) of annual flowers that match your lighting conditions.
4.Pick out a pot or hanging basket you love, add quality potting soil, and start arranging your flowers.
5.Water regularly, and before you know it, you’ll have a beautiful custom arrangement that looks just as stunning as the pre-made baskets!
The best part? You get to choose the colors, flowers, and style that fit your home perfectly.
