Gold and Blue and White Trip Container Yard Ideas
My kitchen window appears to be out at my entrance door — and as I type this, as soon as I lookup I see the half achieved trip container gardens sitting there. (They’re undone – not pretty working and now they’re taunting me)
I misplaced momentum, because of my design is just not doing it for me. I am trying to contemplate a choice to shortly and cheaply salvage the thought and provides already invested….I really feel pomegranates or oranges (or every) is maybe the reply…..and maybe among the many flower heads of my huge Miscanthus. (I am going to share footage and a full file of offers if they provide the impression of being greater after this weekend’s tinkering).
Nevertheless in any case, as I sit perplexed as to strategies to make this yr’s planters greater, I’ve merely decided what I would do for subsequent yr. My house is darkish, so one amongst my factors is that darkish greens don’t really current up in the direction of the house (which is part of my draw back this yr as soon as I went with purple/pink eucalyptus as a central design issue). So, throughout the spirit of 1 factor brighter however nonetheless holiday-ish. How is that this for a planter idea?
Gold – Blue – White Trip Planter
Yellow Willow is used for the centerpiece (or yellow dogwood), blue spruce and variegated boxwood are used in order so as to add distinction and texture. The golden cypress is evergreen and shall be vibrant all winter. Add in dried cotton nonetheless on the stems and some planted white heather.
The balls on the underside left are excellent — I found them at Christmas Baubles for Sale — sadly, they’d been 97 bucks for six (ouch!!), nevertheless the best is 12″, the middle 10″, and the smallest is 8″ — and in addition you do get 2 of each — so maybe it’s maybe one factor to separate with a buddy?
What do you consider bows? Personally, I am not a ‘bow particular person’. Nevertheless I really feel it’d need one factor — a minimal of on the wreath. I included the bow because of I do love burlap, and if I had been doing this, I really feel possibly I would make the bow a bit additional floppy-sloppy to take the “bow” edge off — like this.
Oh, and I am about to buy this faux blue spruce wreath to associate with it as a result of it seems to already be on an ‘after Christmas’ trip sale.

However once I nonetheless lived in England, I really feel I need to associate with one amongst Miss Pickering’s blue spruce wreaths….like this one….or must you click on on through, you’ll discover the completely stunning creations from earlier years.
