Garden Decoration with Wrought Iron Planters and Baskets
If you are a kind of person who wants every corner of house decorated, you
will decorate your garden as well. And what's better than
wrought iron garden decor.
Some garden accessories bring out the true beauty of your home exteriors.
Wrought Iron Planters
Wrought iron planters are very
useful for bringing out the natural beauty of garden. Fee-standing, mounted
or attached to window sills, these miniature gardens are portable and can be
suited to your needs. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes
and are made such as to fit any location. So, you can be creative while
choosing location of your wall planters, and place them anywhere- gates,
fences, and any exterior wall. Large planters can accent an entranceway or
garage. They can even create a lush tropical setting by covering an exterior
wall, fence or deck railing at different heights with draping flowers and
greenery. They can be used alone or be built in pairs and trios. They can
help frame the opening of a stairway or door. Planters can even serve as
dividers or barriers that can add privacy.
Either using a plain or a fancier planter, it should be created with the
help of a functional box as its design basis. Planters may be constructed
with a false bottom for holding only the least amount of soil required for
some flowers and plants. They can also be sized to hold a plastic liner
which can be removable. Always take care to allow maximum quantity of air
circulation. The bottom of wrought iron planters are sturdy enough to handle
the weight and to permit excess water to drain through.
Wrought Iron Hanging Baskets
Wrought iron hanging baskets
are yet another simple option for giving an amazing beauty to home
exteriors. While using these baskets, some points should always be kept in
mind. Plants should be positioned at the top of the basket as well as poked
through the sides. This way, you will achieve a complete covering of
cascading foliage and flowers. Although single type of plant looks good, a
mixture for some color theme like pink and white, mauve and blue or reds and
oranges will give extraordinary effect to the whole surrounding. Wrought
iron hanging baskets are so sturdy that they can be used season after season
and not only in the summer months. In autumn, they can be emptied and
cleaned for planting up again in winters with hardy plants.
