Whether it’s barbecues or just hanging out on the deck, I’m looking forward to spending quality time with friends and family.

For example, if you have a pool, you might want to think of adding some pool privacy plants or privacy plants around the pool.

Blend Real Plants And Artificial Plants To Reduce Maintenance Requirements
Another idea for either your front yard or backyard is to reduce the amount of time you spend caring for your outdoor spaces by blending both live and faux plants. By adding artificial plants to the mix, you can focus your time on watering and feeding your live plants, and create beautiful blends of colors that you might not have the time to achieve otherwise.
Additionally, with artificial plants, you don’t have to worry about the light and watering needs. Love Hydrangeas, but don’t have the time to water them twice a day? Or maybe you want the beauty of a Hydrangea in a sunny space, where they might dry out quickly because of plentiful sunlight. Why not use an artificial Hydrangea and achieve the beauty you want, without the headache of maintenance?
