No outdoor room is complete without some planters!  As a right of spring (and an indication that the snow has left the vicinity for at least the next few months...), I look forward to planting the pots on my deck each year with flowers and ivy and herbs.  A recent visit to my favorite wholesaler yielded some nice options this year.

There are acres of plants, both landscape trees, shrubs, and perennials, AND greenhouses full of annuals like these flats of garden plants and hanging baskets of mixed flowers, as well as a variety of palm trees, fruit trees, and flowering vines.  If I thought I wouldn't murder it, I would have definitely gotten a lime tree!  In my next life, I'm going to have an orangerie attached to my house... 

And then there were these GORGEOUS planters!  A whole section with beautiful glazed planters, metal and resin planters, and even an area of self-watering planters perfect for a vacation home!

Off to finish planting my own patio pots!

Happy Spring!
