April’s full Moon often corresponded with the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern North America: Phlox subulata—commonly called creeping phlox or moss phlox—which also went by the name “moss pink.” Thanks to this seasonal association, this full Moon came to be called the “Pink” Moon.

Other celebrations:

• Walpurgis Night - April 30th

Also known as: May Eve

The origins of the holiday date back to pagan celebrations of fertility rites & the coming of spring. After the Norse were Christianized, the pagan celebration became combined with the legend of St. Walburga, an English-born nun who lived at Heidenheim monastery in Germany & later became the abbess there. Saint Walpurga was hailed by the Christians of Germany for battling "pest, rabies, & whooping cough as well as against witchcraft". Christians prayed to God through the intercession of Saint Walpurga in order to protect themselves from witchcraft, as Saint Walpurga was successful in converting the local populace to Christianity. Although it is likely that the date of her canonization is purely coincidental to the date of the pagan celebrations of spring, people were able to celebrate both events under church law without fear of reprisal.

Walpurgis Night is still a traditional holiday celebrated on April 30th in northern Europe & Scandinavia. In Sweden typical holiday activities include the singing of traditional spring folk songs & the lighting of bonfires. In Germany the holiday is celebrated by dressing in costumes, playing pranks on people & creating loud noises meant to keep evil at bay. Many people also hang blessed sprigs of foliage from houses & barns to ward off evil spirits, or they leave pieces of bread spread with butter & honey, called ankenschnitt, as offerings for phantom hounds.

Hoy volví a uno de mis rincones favoritos de Sevilla: Las Setas, también conocido como Metropol Parasol. Este lugar nunca deja de sorprenderme con sus formas modernas y el contraste con el encanto tradicional de la ciudad. Durante mi paseo, además de disfrutar de las impresionantes vistas, me encontré con varios maceteros llenos de plantas típicas de Andalucía, como olivos, cantahueso, mirto o lavanda, que le añaden un toque aún más especial. Un lugar donde la modernidad y la naturaleza andaluza se encuentran de manera única. 🌿🌞

Today I returned to one of my favorite spots in Seville: Las Setas, also known as the Metropol Parasol. This place never ceases to amaze me with its modern architecture and the contrast it creates with the city’s traditional charm. While walking, I came across several planters filled with typical Andalusian plants, like geraniums and jasmine, adding an even more special touch to the experience. A place where modernity and Andalusian nature meet in a unique way. 🌿🌞

[closed starter for @jynxd.]

 He approached the large wolf-like beast of a man without fear, but instead with a platter of fruit and bread in his hands. Presenting the gift quietly, he took a seat on the large central planter, keeping all his movements steady and clearly telegraphed. It wasn’t out of apprehension or fear, but out of an understanding that with the man’s new form came new instincts and urges. Sudden movements set off those instincts, and caused unnecessary pain and suffering.

 The air in the conservatory was clear and easy to breathe, while also full of aromas of the growing plants and specimens. Lilacs, geranium, and moss smattered the room while colored glass let in beams of tinted light. It was a place meant to soothe, not to agitate.

 “Hello, Warwick,” he said to announce his presence at last, holding his staff in both hands across his lap. “Are you in any pain, today? Before we begin the Healing, I would prefer you to be comfortable.” He offered him the respect of speaking to him as he would anyone else, regardless of his appearance.

hiya! i work in/manage a greenhouse too (maybe half the size of yours i think?) i was wondering if you had any favorite basket or planter combos you made up this year!

i did a few combos i really loved- antique double salmon geranium with a fern and baby tears pilea

peachy keen verbena, double orange superbells, salmon sunpatiens, vista bubblegum petunia, and silver falls dichondra

really im just a sucker for everything in the peach/salmon/coral/pinks

Yeah!! It's hard to remember to take pictures but this year my favorites have been pinks-blue-yellow but also purples with silver.

In total I designed uhhhhh ~350 cone hanging baskets, ~450 planters of varying sizes, 140 big coco fiber baskets, and 50 big moss baskets. Most of those had 10 of each design. So??? Almost 1000 different designs.

So it is tough to choose a favorite lol or remember which was which.

I really like Salvia Icon Blue as a central thriller, then Petunia Miss Marvelous and Dekko Lavender Eye and Lobularia Stream Lavender as fillers, plus Dichondra.

Also I used Big Eeze Geraniums with Dekko petunias again for the big combos and that worked very nicely! Dekkos are a little smaller so resemble Callies but are more vigorous and less aphid-prone. A combo of those with trailing coleus fills in a huge basket well. Also Diamond frost as a filler. Lysimachia sunburst as a trailer.

Bridal Veil and swedish ivy as shade trailers! Spider plants as well! We have stock plants of all three and they grow super wonderfully. For smaller planters, wire vine, though I didn't use much this year.

And my classic and best selling mix is just. Dragonwing begonia, mixed seed impatiens, and ipomea or trailing coleus. I've found that most customers prioritize lots of colors and flowers over anything else in terms of planter design so impatiens mixes are a big seller even though they're pretty basic

Also, I went heavy on the double impatiens this year. I hate them so much they are so messy and dramatic once it gets hot in the greenhouse but they grow fast and fill in so nicely.

If I could get begonias to grow quickly enough, I'd use them, because I feel like they're the real mvp of summer baskets for longevity but unfortunately, I'm growing for looking good pre-Mother's Day. Anything but dragonwings just can't compete in a mixed basket in early spring.

Anyway lol

Revisiting Trigun and everytime it showed geraniums I kept thinking "why do those flowers look so familiar" then I remembered that my grandma used to have giant barrel planters full of red geraniums and I loved the smell of them. I could never tell if it was the flowers or the leaves that smelled so good but I would always sniff them when I stayed there when I was little. My mom also had a little potted one in the house too. They have kind of a metallic smell to them.

[ocotllo]

spending years nursing and pruning and cloning a little ~2'×2' red geranium until it filled the entire 30sq ft planter has to be one of the most interesting things a fandom has ever compelled me to do lol

Nasturtium dripping down from its planter in the potted herb garden

Calendula fulfilling its promise to bloom like a calendar. One of the few regularly blooming flowers giving some colour and hope this season. Calendula is edible and was widely used in medieval English cooking, but I’m using it for decoration and for its healing properties. Excellent for all manner of childhood scrapes.

Sage, rosemary, and green onion courtesy of grocery store living herbs. Mulch courtesy of a poisonous tree (on thin ice!). Aloe vera a sickly plant I emotionally attached to at a store years ago and nursed back to health.

Daylily mulched with its own last season growth. Given to me years ago by a friend weeding out extra. It’s edible but this will be the first year we have a chance for it to get big enough to eat.

Fig sapling from spouse’s childhood home, establishing well. I’m hoping it’s got enough root development to consider cropping in a couple years. That succulent was there when we moved in and will be cut down and given away once the fig is big enough to take up more space.

Some geraniums cheerfully blooming in the playyard, left alone since they’re edible and fairly well established. They seem happily without daily child pruning like last fall.

All of these are close ups since I’m still mending the soil and getting ready to start seeds. I just needed some sunshine and thought you might too!

Stunning Summer Planter Inspirations

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to make your garden shine! One of the easiest ways to add color and life to your outdoor space is by using planters. Whether you're looking to decorate your porch, balcony, or garden, planters are a great way to bring beauty to your surroundings. In this blog, we'll share some simple and fun post planters ideas that can help you create a stunning summer garden, and how a garden multi-tool can make your planting tasks even easier!

Why Planters Are Perfect for Summer

Planters are a great way to add some color to your outdoor spaces. During the summer, flowers, plants, and even small trees bloom beautifully, making your garden or porch feel welcoming. Plus, planters are easy to move, so you can change your garden’s look whenever you want.

If you don't have space for a big garden, planters are also great for small spaces like balconies, windowsills, and even inside your home! You can use planters for a variety of plants, from flowers to herbs, and even fruits and vegetables.

Beautiful Planter Ideas for Your Summer Garden

Here are a few fun planter ideas that will brighten up your garden and outdoor spaces:

1. Hanging Planters for a Floating Garden Look

Hanging planters are a wonderful way to save space while adding charm to your garden. You can hang them from hooks on your porch or from tree branches. To make them stand out, you can use colorful pots, or even make your own planters using recycled materials like old teacups, baskets, or tin cans.

For extra style, you can combine plants of different heights. For example, hang taller plants like vines or flowers in one planter, and smaller plants like succulents or herbs in another. The combination of varying heights will make your space look lush and full.

2. Post Planters for a Bold Look

One of the easiest ways to bring a unique touch to your garden is by using post planters. These are planters that are placed at the end of a post or pole. They can be used to line your driveway, mark walkways, or even sit at the corners of your garden. The tall posts help the plants stand out, and you can use a variety of flowers, shrubs, or small trees to create a stunning visual display.

Choose tall plants with colorful flowers like sunflowers or lavender. You can also use climbing plants like ivy or sweet peas that will grow along the post, creating a natural, flowing effect.

3. Upcycled Planters for a Creative Touch

Upcycling is a fun way to give old items a new purpose, and it’s perfect for creating unique planters. Look around your home or yard for things like old wooden crates, buckets, or even shoes that you no longer use. These can all be turned into creative planters.

For example, you can use an old wooden crate as a planter box for herbs or colorful flowers. Or, take an old pair of rain boots and fill them with soil and small flowers like daisies or petunias. Not only will these upcycled planters look fun, but they’re also a great way to reduce waste.

4. Tiered Planters for a Beautiful Display

If you love the idea of having lots of plants in one area, consider using tiered planters. These are stackable planters that you can place on top of each other to create a vertical garden. Tiered planters are perfect for small spaces, as they allow you to grow several plants in a small footprint.

You can plant flowers, herbs, or even small vegetables in each tier. If you’re growing veggies, consider putting the taller plants on top, like tomatoes or peppers, and the smaller plants like basil or spinach on the bottom.

5. Colorful Ceramic Pots for a Fun Look

Ceramic pots come in all kinds of colors and designs, and they’re perfect for adding a pop of color to your summer garden. You can go for bright, bold colors like red, yellow, or blue, or choose more subtle shades like white, gray, or pastel tones.

These pots are great for flowers like marigolds, geraniums, or petunias, which will add beautiful color to your space. If you prefer a more modern look, you can go for pots with geometric shapes or smooth, simple designs.

Making Planting Easier with a Garden Multi Tool

When you're ready to start planting, using a garden multi-tool can make things much easier. This handy tool combines many tools in one, such as a trowel, weeder, rake, and even a small shovel. A garden multi-tool is perfect for digging holes for your planters, moving soil around, or getting rid of weeds from your garden beds.

Here’s how you can use a garden multi-tool to help with your planters:

Digging holes: If you’re planting flowers or shrubs in your post planters, a garden multi-tool is perfect for digging the right size holes for your plants.

Weeding: A garden multi-tool usually comes with a weeder, which makes it easy to pull out any weeds from your planters or garden beds.

Mixing soil: Use the rake or shovel part of the tool to mix soil in your planters or garden beds. This is especially useful if you’re adding compost to your soil to help your plants grow healthy.

Leveling the soil: Once your plants are in the planters, use the rake to smooth the soil and make sure everything is even.

Caring for Your Summer Planters

After you’ve set up your planters, the next step is to care for them. Here are some tips for keeping your plants happy during the hot summer months:

Water regularly: Plants in planters tend to dry out quicker than those in the ground, so make sure you water them regularly, especially during hot weather.

Add mulch: Putting a layer of mulch on top of the soil can help keep the moisture in and protect the roots from the heat.

Check for pests: Sometimes, pests like aphids or caterpillars can harm your plants. Keep an eye out for them and use natural remedies to get rid of them if needed.

Conclusion

Creating stunning summer planters is a fun and easy way to brighten up your garden. From hanging planters to colorful ceramic pots, there are so many ways to add life and beauty to your outdoor space. And with the help of a garden multi-tool, planting and maintaining your planters becomes even easier. So, gather your materials, get creative, and enjoy a summer full of beautiful plants and flowers in your garden!

Elevate Your Outdoor Space with Balcony Plant Pots

A balcony garden is the perfect way to bring nature into your home, and the key to a thriving balcony garden is selecting the right balcony pots. These pots not only hold your plants but also play a significant role in enhancing the aesthetics of your outdoor space.

Benefits of Using Balcony Plant Pots

Balcony plant pots allow you to grow a variety of plants, from flowers to herbs and even small vegetables, regardless of limited space. They’re portable, making it easy to rearrange your garden to suit your style or to adjust for changing sunlight throughout the year.

How to Choose the Perfect Balcony Pots

Opt for pot and planters that match your balcony’s decor and size. For a sleek modern look, go for minimalistic pots in neutral tones. If you prefer a rustic vibe, terracotta or wooden pots work well. Hanging or railing pots are excellent for maximizing vertical space, while tiered arrangements can create a stunning visual effect.

Plants That Thrive in Balcony Pots

The versatility of balcony plant pots means you can grow a wide variety of plants. Small succulents and cacti are great for low-maintenance options. If you want fresh ingredients, herbs like thyme, parsley, and chives thrive in balcony pots. For a burst of color, try geraniums, pansies, or bougainvillea.

With the right balcony plant pots and a little creativity, you can turn even the smallest balcony into a vibrant and serene space. Whether you’re looking to relax, entertain, or grow your own herbs and veggies, balcony pots are an easy and stylish way to transform your outdoor area into a green haven.
