Green Acres Garden Blog

There's no better way to refresh your front porch, back patio, or flowerbeds than by creating colorful, textural, seasonal pot-ups. We've put together six pot-up recipes that include some of our favorites to add pizzazz and personality to your summer. 

We've created some container recipes for you that will shine for months to come. Planting in containers is a fun way to express your personality and provide pops of color throughout your landscape. Aside from the porch or deck, consider inserting potted  arrangements throughout your garden beds, nestled among shrubs. 

When it comes to container recipes, the options are endless. Consider including California natives, along with plant varieties that thrive in our Mediterranean climate, or are waterwise. You’ll reap the benefits of local pollinators in your garden and the plants you select will feel at home and flourish in their new space.
