Do you think about your decorating style when you choose outdoor gardening pieces and the plants that you’ll be enjoying?  Your exterior decor choices reflect your style as much as your interior designs do.

Do you gravitate to traditional looks such as garden urns, shaker-style planters, clay pots?  Do you love geraniums, petunias, impatiens?

Or do you prefer straight line pots, smooth decorative ceramics, and unconventional vessels?  Maybe a spiky yucca, a grouping of succulents, a sago palm, portulaca, and a more bold look appeals to you.

Red Hot Poker or Knockout Rose?

Hibiscus in a contemporary pot or geraniums with trailing ivy?

Huge Elephant Ear plant or azalea?

Maybe your look is eclectic.  Whatever you choose, keep in mind to group similar pot and plant styles together… Just as you would do with your interior accessories.  Make a statement!
