Our team designs and installs seasonal containers throughout the year so your porch always has something fresh, festive, and full of life. From the first cheerful blooms of spring to lush summer color, cozy fall arrangements, and festive winter greens, we keep your containers looking fabulous while you sit back and enjoy the compliments from the neighbors.
Think of it as a little seasonal wardrobe change for your porch pots.
Most of our container clients have us refresh their seasonal planters up to four times per year. It’s an easy way to keep your home feeling lively, welcoming, and just the right amount of garden-fancy without lifting a finger.
Spring Containers
After a long Midwest winter, we’re all ready for something cheerful — and spring seasonal containers are usually the first sign that garden season has officially begun.
In early spring (March through early April), we plant hardy cool-season annuals that can handle the Midwest’s famous mood swings — sunshine one day, snow flurries the next. These early seasonal planters often feature cold-tolerant favorites like pansies and violas, paired with fresh greenery and textures that wake up your porch after a long winter nap.
It’s the garden equivalent of opening the windows and letting the fresh air in.
Summer Containers
Once the weather warms up in May or early June, we return to transform your containers with vibrant plants designed to thrive through the hottest months.
Summer seasonal planters are full, colorful, and lush — often layered with trailing plants, bold flowers, and structural greenery that create movement and visual interest. We carefully choose annuals that can tolerate heat, humidity, and the occasional dry spell while still looking beautiful all season long.
We choose joyful and abundant plants that will thrive in your specific shady or sunny conditions.
Fall Containers
As the air turns crisp and the colors of the landscape begin to shift, we transition your planters into rich, cozy fall seasonal containers.
These planters often include cool-season annuals in warm autumn hues — deep burgundy, copper, golden yellow, and plum — paired with textural elements that celebrate the harvest season. We frequently incorporate pumpkins, gourds, ornamental grasses, hay bales, corn stalks, and other seasonal accents to create charming fall displays.
These containers add instant warmth to your home’s entrance and help your porch feel festive throughout the fall months.
Holiday & Winter Containers
Our winter seasonal containers are designed to bring beauty and life to your porch even during the coldest months.
In November or early December, we create festive holiday planters using fresh evergreen boughs, pinecones, berries, and other winter accents. These arrangements are carefully constructed to hold up through snow, freezing temperatures, and winter winds — staying beautiful well into January and sometimes beyond.
Holiday containers are a wonderful way to decorate for the season without the hassle of storing decorations or building arrangements yourself. They create a warm, welcoming entry that feels festive throughout the winter.
