With brilliant blooms or fancy foliage and easy care, tree boxes take center stage on your patio. Crafted from hearty teak or redwood, containers or boxes are an easy way to bring your garden closer. Fill them with your favorite plants and spread them around to add natural color, texture and scents to your patio or deck.

They come in various sizes so you can choose a few to nestle around some different pieces of furniture or even make a hedge line for privacy with several large ones. Tree boxes have made decorating with plants easier than ever. Whether your patio décor is sleek and modern or bright and textured, you can accentuate it by mixing various flowers and foliage in tree box planters. Or simply grow stunning containers of just one type of flower or vine. It’s easy to find nature inspired prints both indoors and out from cushions to curtains and everything in between. But it is hard to beat living plants and flowers as decoration.

Use them outside and they add a natural touch to your otherwise man-made backyard retreat. Plants appeal to your senses making your patio a place you want to hang out. Scientists say that the sense of smell has the strongest link to memory, so fill your patio with sweet, spicy or fruity fragrant flowers to bring back a happy memory or set the scene for creating some new ones. Appeal to your sense of sight and fill your tree boxes with white blossoms and light reflecting greenery. When the moon is high and lanterns flicker masses of snowy blooms shimmer and sparkle in the evening light. For your sense of touch, include soft, fuzzy lamb’s ears to rub or create a sense of privacy with a line of soft pussy willows in your tree boxes.

Besides making your final destination fragrant and bright you can also use tree boxes to make the journey more interesting. Place one along a winding garden path to create a stopping point in your backyard travels to sniff a sweet flower or cool off in a patch of shade. Place a tree box on either side of a garden bench. You or your guests will have a place to rest along the way and you will have created a sense of being lost in a lush green garden of delights. After all it might only take you a moment or two to get to your backyard paradise, but you want those moments to be long enough to feel like you are actually going somewhere. They say it’s more about the journey than the destination. You can make that true in your yard with a few simple tree boxes.

Made commonly of teak or redwood, they are resistant to rotting, warping, and water, so they easily stand up to the elements to provide you with a lifetime of decorating enjoyment. Add some bright colors and sweet smells to your backyard retreat and it will truly feel like you’re on vacation right outside your door.
