Creating any landscape decor is fun and awesome to try. Doing it with potted plants and flowers is really creative and delightful. When you look at your front yard landscape do you see it as welcoming and warm or barren and cold?
With the holidays coming and guests arriving more than normal, now is the time to take a check on the pots you have displayed and start to consider the pottery you need to add. There is nothing more inviting to your guests than a wonderful display of flowerpots or houseplants. We know how much you care about the inside of your home, so now is the time to make sure the outside shows the same attention.
Potted garden containers are really just mini gardens with in a garden. When placed near the front door entryway or porch it's your way of saying welcome with potted flowers that not only look lovely but smell pleasing. Select pottery that matches or compliments your exterior. Maybe you have a large porch with white wicker furniture and lace. Fill those planters with pinks, lavender and lots of green ferns to compliment and complete the look.
If you have a walkway that has matching pillars on each side of the entryway this is the time to make sure they are topped with large garden bowls overflowing with colorful flowers and pot toppers. Maybe you don't have access to a garden hose, then pot them with succulents or cacti, that don't take a lot of care. Create a elegant and stylish look that is simple yet sensational.
By adding tons of colored flowers to your garden containers you create a burst of beauty that is always pleasing to the eyes and so welcoming to your guests. Always add a sweet fragrant plant to welcome your guests with perfume that says.... LOVELY! If you want to decorate them for the holidays that is fun and creative also. Fill the pots with gourds and mini pumpkins for fall or evergreens and branches with red berries for Christmas.
Lastly, keep the potted flowers and plants you display cleaned up. Don't let them die off and clutter up the planters. Keep them dead headed and new flowers re-potted so that they look lovely all season long. Nothing says we don't care what you think then garden pottery filled with dead or dying flowers and plants.

Yellow HousePlants??? |

Do you have or have you ever had, YELLOW houseplants?
We think it's so vital to bring potted plants inside to decorate your home with. They provide wonderful, healthy benefits and also help clean the indoor air from toxins. However, selecting the plants, choosing the right garden container and keeping the plant healthy are all things you need to work at and consider.
When looking at your houseplants do you see healthy plants? Or, do you see brown or yellow leaves. Are your plants starting to look as though they have developed jaundice? If so then you may have a mineral deficiency - most likely nitrogen. Luckily plants, like a human provide telling clues when they need better nutrition.
Signs of a nitrogen deficiency: New leaves appear lighter usually a pale green. The solution: Add compost or manure both are high in nitrogen.
Mature leaves: Begin to turn yellow, starting at the base of the plant. Young leaves turning yellow before older ones may indicate sulfur deficiency.
Stems: Appear weak and spindly. Fruit or flowers are delayed and yields are limited.
All of these mean something is going on that isn't good. So pay attention and keep your eyes on those indoors potted houseplants. If you move quickly you can keep them looking healthy and happy longer and faster.

You do everything right. Pot fresh herbs every season to use in your kitchen. You place those garden planters next to the kitchen door so that you can get to them easily, or place the decorative pots on the patio so the fragrance can swarm your guests as they relax.
One thing you have noticed is that the potted herbs are getting overgrown cause you can't use them fast enough. So you think of clever ways to dry, or freeze them so you have them all year long but there is still an over abundance. You start giving them to neighbors and friends but even that doesn't help.
Well, here is another suggestion. Create your own spa goodies. Try these ideas and see if you love them as much as we think you will. With the holidays coming we think these make wonderful homemade gifts for loved ones!
Basil infused olive oil for facial - Fill a 16 oz mason jar with 2 cups of extra-virgin olive oil. Add 2 or 3 sprigs each of basil and chamomile. Cover with cheesecloth and let infuse for up to a month. Use as a moisturizing facial by dabbing 1/4 c max on face. Remove with a dry cloth. Yummy!
Herb & Honey Body Scrub - Warm 2 Tbs honey. Stir in 1 Tbs olive oil. Add 3 Tbs, salt or sugar. Add fresh herbs - such as 2 Tsp basil and 2 Tsp mint. Add a few drops of essential oil of your choice. The smellier the better....hummmmm Next bath, massage over your body and face, then rinse. Smooth, Silky, Smelly Good time.
Flower Petal Sugar Scrub - Mix 1 c brown sugar with 1/4 c honey and 1/4 c almond oil. Stir in 2 Tsp fresh flower petals or 1 Tsp dried petals. Try a mix of rose, lavender and calendula for a wonderful experience.
Add a few drops of essential oil of your choice. Use in bath, massage over body and face, then rinse.
So you now have a choice. You can use up your own grown herbs and potted flowers and create your own spa experience. You can make these up for wonderful, personalized gifts or you can spend a small fortune to go to a spa to get the same experience. We think you will make the right choice. Have fun!!!
