Hello Bedford Residents
I want to share a way to spruce up your yard for the summer with artificial plants and flowers. Instead of real plants and flowers, I have and others are buying artificial plants and flowers. It’s a low maintenance curb appeal. It will require outdoor greenery and heavy-duty anchoring, so they do not blow away. Artificial plants and flowers look just as good as real plants and flowers.
If you want to check out this DIY tip, do the following:
Shop the following stores for the artificial plants and flowers: Home Goods, Walmart, Michael’s Craft store, (Petitti Garden Centers and Gale’s Garden Center, these locations carry real and artificial plants and flowers) there other places around the city.
1. Buy the right artificial plants and flowers
– Look for UV-resistant labels
– Material matters
– Apply a protectant
2. Anchor for the Weather
– If not in a planter, add weight
– Create an anchor
– Glue or stake
3. Make Them Look Realistic
– Fluff the branches
– Blend in real soil
– Use high-quality planters
4. Maintenance – They don’t need watering; they still get dirty
– Run water over them occasionally if it doesn’t rain
– Winter store the artificial plants and flowers if you want
Believe me, your yard can look amazing with artificial plants and flowers and low maintenance.
Have a great summer!
