Inexpensive Planters to Dress Up Your Outdoor Space
Planter boxes and flower boxes add a lot of ambiance to an outdoor living space and can elevate an entryway's curb appeal. In the warm seasons, fill the containers with colorful flowers and flowing vines, then in the colder months dress your containers in cool-season crops, evergreens or holiday decor. Large planters and pots are an essential item for a well-styled porch, patio or deck. But planter boxes, window boxes and flowerpots can be expensive. That’s why we put together this collection of budget-friendly projects, upcycles and updates to help make your outdoor living space come to life.
