I’ve had these urns for a couple of years and they’re from Residence Depot initially. They’re light-weight resin and I drilled holes in them for drainage. These urns from Home Depot are very comparable. So are these urns from Lowes.

I obtained this set of fake boxwood 18″ spherical topiaries for Christmas from Renee and Lauren. They requested me what I wished and this was the proper factor to ask for. I began looking on-line and located this beautiful set of boxwood topiaries for a great value of $129 for the pair. I learn the opinions which have been actually good and figured they might work for my wants too. They do! Mine are the 24″ x 18″ medium measurement.

They got here packed in a field, so I took them out and fluffed the foliage. I additionally reduce off the lip of the plastic container they have been in since I didn’t need water to take a seat in them.

They’re set in some kind of resin/plaster which ought to maintain them in place simply high quality. I took out the previous vegetation that have been in my urns and left about 1/2 the dust in them. Then I merely positioned the brand new topiaries on high of the flattened dust and lined them each with marble chips we had readily available.

And right here’s how they appear on our entrance porch. I like them a lot! I like that they appear very pure and they aren’t fully good, however have little tendrils of leaves popping up throughout. Simply fluff the leaves and pull the stems round to cowl any holes.

I lined the underside of the container fully with the marble chips and it finishes them off properly with no dust displaying.

The trunk appears very sensible too and they’re the proper accent for the porch and these urns. I’ll be so glad to not need to seasonally change these vegetation anymore. These fake boxwood ought to final for years. Simply wished to share in case you’ve obtained planters are are uninterested in changing vegetation too! I’m all prepared for spring now!
