Summer Containers to Dress Up Any Area

At Pleasant View Gardens, Summer container gardens are some of our favorites (I know, we say that about EVERY season). But, the combination of warm weather and long days makes summer one of the busiest seasons of the year for both work and play. Container gardens can become the perfect addition to any summer space. They aren’t just for sitting outside homes; container gardens can be used to dress up any area. Let’s talk about three spaces where a container can enhance your summer vibe:

Selling Your Home

Summer is usually the busiest season for moving, which means you need to be creative in order to make your home stand out from the competition.  Brilliant summer containers outside your home can catch the eye of potential buyers and make your home look instantly more inviting. A good first impression is crucial when selling your home, and a summer container is an easy way to increase interest in your home.

Events

With warm weather and longer days, summer is the prime season for outdoor events like weddings, BBQs, family reunions, graduations, and more. Summer containers can make the perfect addition to any of these events. These small, portable gardens can be moved around anywhere so when your event decorations change, your containers can follow your vision.

Businesses

The bad news is that you can’t always control the style of your work building. The good news is that summer containers can make any drab building look more colorful, inviting, and exciting. Bright summer colors like red, yellow, and white can put a smile on anyone who walks through your doors, including customers and employees. 

Container gardens may be small, but they have outsized power to influence the vibe of any indoor or outdoor space. Contact us to learn more about how a container garden can enhance your space this summer!

Birch Tree

Pruning Birch Trees

Birch trees require careful pruning to maintain health and aesthetics. Optimal times include late winter when dormant or late summer to minimize sap flow and insect activity. Avoid pruning in late spring to early summer due to peak birch borer presence. Proper techniques, particularly around the branch collar, ensure effective wound closure and tree vitality.
