You might be tempted to buy flowers for Mother’s Day but lawn and garden expert, Larry Pfarr, says that container gardens are the way to go.

Larry Suggests:

• Monochromatic Container – use plants that are all from the same color group
• Analogous Container – use plant colors that are next to each other on the color wheel
• Complimentary Container – use plant colors that are opposite of each other on the color wheel
• Triad Container – use three colors that are evenly spaced apart on the color wheel

Other Tips:

• The container must have drainage holes and always use potting soil
• Select plants for your growing conditions – sun or shade
• Try something new in your containers
