A dozen ways to have a "Garden," even if you do not have a big yard.....
1. Put pots of flowers along one side of steps. This works well if you keep each box
pretty much the same size and the flowers/plants the same or similar.

2. Hanging baskets on porch. One or more containers of colorful cascading flowers - such as
ivy geraniums, petunias, begonias - in one color or combinations of colors, make a delightful "welcome home".
3. Set planters on both sides of front door. Tall, narrow plantings work best. Also,Topiary, sculpted green shrubs, or even a vine on an obelisk.
4. Place a grouping of containers on a bench. If you have a bench, table or shelf just sitting
there, group a few containers of varying sizes. Plants can be various colors and types.
5. A box on a pedestal in entryway. If you have a large sufficient entrance, an urn filled
with flowers on a pedestal makes a astonishing "First Impression"
6. Lining a patio. As long as they don't obstruct a pathway, lining a patio with containers
of colorful flowers is a perfect way to enjoy "Dining Out"
7. A grouping in the corner of a deck. Decks are so boring and lifeless, they need a
decorative element. Grouping some containers of varying sizes, shapes and types with
loads of colorful flowers makes a more exciting place.
8. Encircling a tree trunk. As long as there is sufficient light, manufacture a "flower box" around a
tree trunk and filling it with flowers, adds color and interest to an otherwise empty space.
9. Hanging on a wall. Using brackets, you can attach containers to a wall and fill with
flowers in a color that contrasts to the wall color for a spectacular attentiveness grabber.
10. In an old wagon or wheelbarrow. If you are a collector of "antiques" or just happen to have
these or similar items - fill with an assortment of yearly plants.
11. Hanging from deck railings. There are containers made specifically to attach to deck railings
that look great filled with flowers.
12. A windowbox filled with flowers. Even if you have no yard, porch, patio or deck you can
have a windowbox filled with colorful flowers to enjoy.
