When it comes to planters, bigger is really better. A taller planter has more room for soil, which means it will keep your plants healthy and happy much longer. You can even group together two or three different types of flowers and used ferns and grasses to fill it in. Taller grasses pair perfectly with taller vases.

If you’re the type of person who like everything to match, definitely go with a set of containers in different shades of the same color. Try mixing and matching planters in different sizes and materials and fill them with the same types of plants for a cohesive look.

To make a statement, try a novelty planter like a rustic wheelbarrow which looks adorable in a front yard or on the side of a garden.

If you’re hosting an outdoor party, leave fragile glass vases inside and add freshly cut flowers to galvanized buckets. Plant succulents in smaller containers; they are cute and easy to maintain.

A raised vegetable garden in an elevated planter is a great way to get the most out of your vegetables as you can control what kind of soil you put in.

Composting helps both the environment and your garden. Throw your leftover kitchen scraps and grass clippings into an outside container, let it turn over for a year and put it right back into your soil.
