That Extra ‘Something’ When Selling… or Just for Fun

You can’t always tell what will delight a home buyer. Often it’s some small detail, like the crown molding around your living room ceiling, your red front door, or the delightful container garden you’ve staged your front entry with.

What? You don’t have a delightful container garden staging your entry? You can, and it will add a fun detail that could be the thing to put home buyers in a buying mood. Or it’s just fun for your family to enjoy. Here are 4 quick tips.

1. Use Google to look up container garden ideas.

2. You don’t need to buy expensive pots; a thrift or second hand store will have pots you can use. Make sure there’s a drainage hole. Select a variety of sizes and shapes.

3. Use good potting soil from the garden center.

4. Choose a variety of bloom shapes, colors, stem heights, and leaf sizes.
