Containers with a Spring Flair

My goal in life is to "always out-do-myself".  This would be a great goal for all of us especially when it comes to container gardening.  Sure you can plant your winter pots with pansies, ornamental kale, assorted evergreens and perennials, but for a spring twist, mix in some branches of pussy willows, forsythia twigs, and even cherry blooms.  Spikes of these spring flowers vertically bursting out from the center of any planted  container will give your porch or patio a new and fresh look.
