Beautify your verandah with a bouquet of flowering plants in a decorative container. Create bright colour combinations that will attract pollinators.
Select an outdoor container with a drain hole in the bottom and fill it with potting soil. Let the kids choose a selection of plants.
The rule is to combine tall plant that stands out, smaller plants to fill in the space, and a trailing plant to spill over the side. All plants must have similar sunlight and water requirements and must be suitable for the area you live in.
Another type of container you could add to your home are window boxes filled with lovely flowers.
