The Garden Shedde

If you are looking for planters to use on your patio, deck, sunroom or home; wood or cedar planters are a great way to go.  I have found that cedar planters are an amazing natural material that holds up much better than other natural woods. These planters are not only durable, but are truly beautiful as well and you can get them in custom sizes if the 15” x 15” x 15 ¾” is not big enough.  I also love the choice of a vertical or diagonal side to mix it up a bit.

These wood planters are heavy enough to stay in one place during most extreme weather and won’t blow away like plastic, chip like concrete, crack like pottery or rust like metal planters eventually will.  These wonderful planters can be treated and sealed to maintain their natural look and beauty or painted or stained to match your chosen décor.  This gives you the flexibility to use them in just about any outdoor or indoor living space where you want to enjoy your favorite plant and blooms.  I love the versatility of these planters and the fact that they are all natural.  Go green!

There are so many wonderful things to choose from that can enhance the experience in your yard and garden.  They range from some incredible large features like pergolas and arbors to the wonderful variety of garden benches and outdoor furniture that allow you to create delightful organic areas in and around your patio and yard.  It’s just so much fun!

Add to that the small touches you can add from garden gnomes, gazing balls and shepherd hooks that allow you to hang all of your favorite plants to outdoor lighting options that both amaze and amuse you.  There is just nothing you cannot do these days to make your yard and garden the perfect outdoor living space for you and your family.  Get started and have a great time doing it!

People love to spend time outside in their garden or on their patio’s whether it’s warm or cool.  Some have large spaces outdoors and other’s only a small oasis.  However, with the right kind of furniture, either space can be turned into your paradise.

You work hard at turning your space into a place that is yours and yours alone.  You want others to know, by the furniture you choose, what the space says about you.  Are you an avid gardener looking to meld your garden onto your patio?  A cook who wants to use this space to barbeque and entertain?  The great thing is you can decorate using the usual patio and garden furniture or you can be different and use the unusual object or furniture.

You can stick with the simple plastic furniture that can be easily carried anywhere and can be stacked and put away when not in use.  You can choose the traditional iron furniture or the hand-crafted Adirondack chairs that make your home yours.  Or you can go way outside the box and get old truck front seats or tractor seats and use them for your seating pleasure.  Whatever you want to make of your outdoor space, you can.

There is also some great wicker and cane furniture that blends with so many decors at your fingertips.  You get to choose your outdoor furniture according to your personality and what makes you feel closest to nature.  It improves you life and the look of your outdoor space.

Picket fences are a well known style of decorative landscape fencing, meant to enhance a flower garden and small lawn. They are best suited to smaller yards due to their smaller scale, and there are many designs to choose from. Another type, low decorative metal fences, usually set on top of a low masonry base, or strung from footing to footing, are also suited to small residential use.

Solid panel fences are appropriate for any application, depending on their height. Lower ones, sometimes as low as a foot or two, can be used as decorative landscaping borders, waist height ones to define public spaces (such as a front yard or patio), and tall ones are ideal privacy fences.

Chain or other non-decorative metal fencing is most often purely functional, intended as a security fence. It is rarely used in a decorative way due to its simple appearance and strong association with industrial or security purposes. It is unsuited to residential settings for this reason, except for use in pet enclosures inside attractively fenced yards.

The hand-crafted cedar Wallington Pergola is much more versatile then you would know by looking at it.  On its own, it can make a great centerpiece in your yard for you to enjoy a little shelter on those lovely spring mornings with your first cup of coffee or a little shade as you entertain your family and friends.

Pergolas are terrific out in a lawn area, entwined in a garden or covering a patio.  They give just enough protection form the sun without blocking all the light and in time, with a little planning, can be covered with your favorite vines and blooms to be the addition to your backyard space you have always wanted.

The Wallington Pergola goes one step further and gives you the ability to create an outside covered picnic table that will delight the cook in the family and give you additional seating outdoors.  No more moving the lawn chairs about and balancing your plates on your lap.  You now have a sturdy, secure place to eat that is remarkably beautiful as well as functional.
