Your Summer Garden Starts This Spring
If you’re looking for a stellar outdoor environment this summer, you can start by planning and planting a wide variety of vegetation this spring. Plants add beauty, scent, and serve practical purposes—from insect control to fresh family meals.
At the heart of it all, your Highwood USA furniture lets you immerse yourself in your handiwork, creating a focal point and providing a structure to give your plants a home.
Beautify Your Home with Flowers
Begin with window boxes, such as the Highwood Beckett Collection. Window boxes bring flowers to eye level and work well on patios. Complement them by accenting your walkway with our Windsor Planters to welcome guests throughout the season.
When positioning furniture, consider your plantings. The Lehigh 3-piece Round Dining Set or a Lehigh 5 ft Garden Bench provides a comfortable spot to sit and smell the roses.
Hanging Plants
For a particularly delightful experience, consider hanging plants. Our Bodhi Pergola with a bench inside creates a perfect sanctuary to appreciate colorful geraniums, begonias, or lush ferns.
Insect Control
Some plants do more than look pretty—they keep pests at bay. Consider adding these to your garden:
- Lemongrass & Catnip: Mosquitoes
- Basil: Mosquitoes and flies
- Sage & Lavender: Moths and flies
- Peppermint: Ants and spiders
- Rosemary: Fleas, ticks, and slugs
Privacy and Security
Add a hedge for security or privacy using English Holly or Barberry bushes. Placing a Highwood Weatherly Picnic Bench on the inside face of your hedge provides a "hidden hideaway" for family meals.
Good to Eat
Your outdoor space can feed your family well into the fall. Tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers grow beautifully in temperate climates. The earlier you plant this spring, the sooner you'll enjoy the harvest!
