Delivery Time Flower

Ready to spice up the entry way to your home. We're not talking the foyer. By the time people get into your house, they have already gotten their real first impression, from the outside. You need to make sure the theme and style you are trying to give off from your home is present from the time people first enter your property.

Look at your driveway. Is it just a plain, boring driveway with nothing special to show the way to the house. Sure, the main purpose of the driveway is to be a place to drive, but that doesn't mean it has to be ugly and boring. Just as you would dress up the walls in your house, instead of leaving them in plain white with no accents, you can dress up your driveway.

One of the easiest ways to do this is with garden planters. Every 10 feet or so up the driveway, you could put a decorative garden planter on each side of the drive, as a guide of where the road is, as well as an attractive addition to the driveway.

If you haven't shopped for garden planters in a while, you will be pleased to know the variety and style of these flower-holding pieces have expanded greatly in recent years. No matter what theme or feel you want to give as people approach your home, there will be garden planters that can fit the bill.

You can also choose from quite a variety of materials when selecting garden planters. From wood to concrete there are many that will last a long time. If you want to just set up a temporary display, until you decide just what you really want, there are also very economical plastic garden planters that can be place holders for now.

The great thing about driveway garden planters is that they are not only another way to line the driveway, but also expand your decoration options for the yard. At the holidays you can use light kits to make your plants look more like miniature Christmas trees. You can even add ornaments. If that's a little too much for you, you could always change the plants inside the garden planters and put up poinsettias or other season-appropriate plants.

If you have a lot of guests that come over at night, you may also want to help them light the way. Some garden planters come with luminary additions so you can help them shine. Other garden planters are мейд as a part of lighting fixtures that are meant to line the driveway. If you don't want to worry about having to hardwire all sorts of lights into your electric system, you may want to try a more simple, and environmentally friendly solution, solar lights, that will charge themselves during the day and light the way at night.

Garden planters used to be relegated to the garden, but with a little invention and ingenuity, you can make them become a part of a bigger plan to make your driveway and front yard the initial showplace of your home.
