Tips for Creating the Best Planter Possible

Few things will make your backyard more beautiful than a wooden planter box full of beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, if you don't properly plant the box, your backyard will seem messy and unpolished. So I looked up a few tips for making your planter box perfect and beautiful!
• Make sure you buy the right supplies. First, purchase smaller potted plants at your local nursery. Be sure that they all need the same amounts of sun and moisture.Be sure to choose flowers with different heights, so that you will be able to see all of them at once.
• Before planting, place your planter in the position from which it will be viewed. This way you can be sure to create the most aesthetically appealing arrangement from the angle it will be seen.
• Fill up the planter with loose potting soil, leaving two inches at the top of the planter.
• Plan your arrangement with the plants still in their pots before planting anything. Be sure that you have your whole planter designed before you take any plant out of its pot.
• Make sure you plant the tallest flowers in the back, put the smallest flowers in the front, and plant the medium plants in between. That way you can see all your flowers at the same time, and your view of the smaller flowers will not be obscured by big, tall plants!
• Start by planting the tall flowers in the middle of the back row of the planter, moving outwards and forwards as you plant. Then make indentations with your trowel around your taller plants and place the medium plants in those indentations. Keep working outwards, forwards, and smaller as you plant.
These are just a few helpful hints to making your planter the best it can be. If you want more help, make sure to look at the website where I found these tips.
