April Showers Bring May Flowers

Spring is here, and nothing says spring quite like flowers. Although not everyone has an abundance of land to have a flower garden, there are many ways you can decorate with florals right in your home.

Indoor Gardens

Whether you live in a house or apartment, you can bring the outdoors in with indoor gardens. Mindbodygreen.com offers many unique options for holding your blooms including teacups, tins and even old dresser drawers. Some flowers that do well inside include African violets, hibiscus and jasmine according to Better Homes and Gardens.

Window Boxes      

If you would like to plant flowers outdoors but still close to home, try window boxes which are planters that hang on the outside of your window. You can opt for flowers that love shade or sun  depending on the location of where you hang the planter and water them without ever having to leave your house by just opening the window. The Michigan Flower Farm has a list of in season blossoms including bright blue bachelor’s buttons, pastel peonies and the ever popular daffodils and daisies.

Cut or Silk Flowers

If you weren’t blessed with a green thumb or simply don’t have time to take care of a flower garden, you can still bring a bit of spring into your home with cut or silk flowers. Cut flowers add a bit of life to your space, but need to be replaced often. You can have flowers all year round, however, with silk florals from the Home Interior Warehouse.
