I will soon be entering a season of life with more extended travel, and wondered what to do about the plants I have watered for years in matching urns on each side of my garage. I looked around for some artificial Boxwood Balls, and these looked very pretty, at a better price (and no shipping cost) than another online competitor. They shipped quickly and were sitting neatly in sturdy boxes under my covered porch when I returned from work. The hard part was removing the old root-bound live plants from the urns! But it was so easy to plop these pretty plants into the urns, and the pots they came in fit completely inside the urns perfectly. They will stay green & tidy without needing trimming or water, and that's exactly what I needed.
