Area ”green-thumbers” have discovered this trick and put it to work for them in front of homes and businesses. Shown is a selected sample of container gardens in the area.
(Clockwise from upper right) Le Gaulois Restaurant always has a colorful display of flowers blooming by its outdoor dining area; J. Brown & Co. adds some color to its store window; a colorful grouping on the Shaperos’ steps shows off their porch; Hollin Hall’s oversized containers are brimming with color; Jerri Vlasho used a patriotic theme for her potted plants; the Orrs in Waynewood have put together a nice grouping of plants outside their door; and the building at 127 S. Peyton St. stands out with its bright flowers.
