Spring Fever
This past Saturday, my soul was lifted by the sunshine and warm weather and I decided to brighten up my patio with some spring blooms. Seems I may have jumped the gun, but I was in good company.
The following day, upon returning for planters I’d spied among the countless options at several stores, I found most had been purchased by others eager to celebrate the season’s abundance. The aisles in the lawn sections at a handful of major retailers, however, were surprisingly sparse on that first (and second) shopping excursion.
As we wait for those colorful shipments to arrive, it’s as good a time as any to read up on the coming trends we may want to incorporate using all those flower pots we bought, which is exactly what our first story below is dedicated to.
