Flower boxes and planters continued

One of my favorite things to do right after the last frost is to plant flowers in our garage window box. There is something so attractive about window boxes and how easy it is to be creative with a small combination of flowering plants. This year a combination of petunias and hanging geraniums in pink was a solid choice mainly because of the amount of sun that this particular box gets. One year, I did portulaca in bright colors and it was glorious but the next year the same flowers became waterlogged and droopy. Definitely trial and error.

From inside the garage window looking out. It's really nice to notice a burst of color when driving up to the house. It also channels that cottage vibe which is simple beauty.

While on my daily walk with Cloe, I noticed this sweet hanging basket filled with marigolds nestled among the ferns.

These planters grace the front of our friend and neighbor's house and are always so chic and welcoming. I love the purple and white contrast against the grey flagstone.

These planters were painted by my daughter and part of her school's recent spring art show.
