I was feeling quite crafty and wanted to add some drama to our backyard. A trip to Lowes was in order…on a mission to mix and match some elegant and colorful plants together to make a hanging basket and a window basket. Since it’s the middle of the summer here in South Carolina, the plants are a bit cheaper than if you bought them in the Spring. On the down side there are a bit less of a variety. Here’s what I came up with. It was SUPER easy to make too!
