Do you remember when I did the mood board on small patio style? I mentioned how I was eager to get some style back there. We recently bought a door mat with some botanical decoration from Costco, so we were on our way. So this weekend, my mom saw an ad for a nursery that was going out of business. The sale was — get this — buy one get FOUR free!

Now, by the time we got there, the pickings were fairly slim. It was mostly trees, shrubs and neglected plants. Some of them had been there for a while with weeds and not looking very attractive. Yet, I was determined to get me some plants at this great deal. So I picked up some of the better looking plants and brought them home. I got 10 plants for $65. Plus, my mom offered to pay for half, so that made it even better. Check them out!

So, they’re still in the original pots, but I got some from my parents and I’m thinking I may look for a big box or something to put a few in there. I’m not even sure what types of plants these are, I’m guessing that they’ll survive in the partial sun with watering every few days or so. I’m not sure, but I just want my little plants to survive! So do any of you have any tips? I’ll be back again — hopefully soon — with more patio updates!
