Every patio can become a more inviting place to relax with the addition of plants.
Unless your patio is surrounded by verdant flower beds and shrubbery, the best way to bring this tranquility to the area may be with patio pots. There's such a wide array of choices in pots today, you'll have trouble deciding. For a more elegant tone, select large urns and place them at each corner of the patio. Today's planting urn doesn't have to weigh a ton. The ones pictured are made of lightweight, durable plastic.
