Annuals for Spring and Summer

During spring and summer, annual flowers add beauty to a garden or exterior location. However with a garden full of perennials, shrubs, and trees it’s sometimes difficult to find a location for them. To have the opportunity to appreciate annuals without uprooting your garden, garden planters or pots are a solid option.  These can be placed on your porch, driveway, or hung down from the roof, and are easy to move out once the annuals have been bitten by the first frost.

Outdoor planters are available empty, or sometimes in spring and summer come pre-filled with annuals and other flowers.

Wood, Fabric, Metal, Glass, or Plastic

With out a doubt, plastic will not be found often on the website A Rustic Garden. And to think my brother manufactures plastic field tile. Timewell Tile works night and day to pour out rolls and rolls or plastic. 

Rustic Garden Decor does not seem authentic when made from plastic but looking into glass and seeing a few bubbles or stretch marks and you think old, vintage, rustic. 

Weathered wooden ladders definitely have a primitive rustic feel. 

Wrought Iron Garden items like trellises, arbors, benches, and fencing are made by welding metal by hand and easily can be defined as Rustic.    

Braided or Hooked rugs made from natural fibers have wonderful graphics that are truly works of art and many love their rustic touch.

 I guess my brother will never work in the field of rustic home and garden decor and I will never sell plastic.
