Introduction

One of the best ways to start adding some green space to your home is with a planter box. They’re easy to add to any small space, from your tiny apartment balcony to the windowsill of your office cubicle. If you’re looking for a way to get creative, try putting more than just flowers in your planter box. It’s an easy way to add some variety and make the most of that tiny bit of greenery in your life. Here are three ideas for you:

Let’s start with what most people think of when they hear planter box: flowers.

Flowers are a great way to decorate your planter box and can be used in multiple ways. If you have space, you could plant large flowers that will grow upward through the planter and add height to your box. You could also add some large annuals or perennials that fill up the sides of the planter box, giving it a fuller look. Finally, if your plants are small enough (and not too expensive) you could use them in place of mulch to cover up soil around individual plants or groups of plants, giving them a more uniform appearance while also helping them retain moisture when they need it most during hot summer months!

If you want something a little more unique, try succulents and cacti.

If you want something a little more unique, try succulents and cacti. Succulents are plants that store water in their leaves, stems or roots. They are drought-tolerant plants that are easy to take care of. Succulents also require little water and no fertilizer because they have evolved to live in areas where there isn’t much water available. Cacti are another type of succulent plant but they store their water inside their body instead of their leaves or stems like most other kinds of succulent plants do (like aloe vera). Cacti can grow very tall so if you don’t have a lot of space for your planter box then stick with smaller varieties of succulents instead!

Another way to make your planter box stand out is by using herbs and other edible plants and flowers.

Herbs are another great way to make your planter box stand out. They can be used for cooking, for decoration and even for drinks and natural remedies. For example, you can use lavender in a bath or on your skin to reduce stress and anxiety. You can also use rosemary as an ingredient in soups or other dishes because it tastes great (and smells even better).

If you’re interested in using herbs like these or any of their many benefits but don’t know how to grow them indoors, that’s okay! We have some great tips on how to do so here: [link](https://www.ehow.com/how_8535897_grow-herbs-indoors.html)

Get creative with what kind of plants you put in your planter boxes.

• You can use plants that are not usually associated with planter boxes. We’re talking about trees! Trees like persimmons, kumquats and mulberries are great in planter boxes because they offer shade and help keep the soil moist. Plus they look really good too—the leaves of some varieties turn bright red in fall!
• Get creative with what kind of plants you put in your planter boxes. If you want to make your own edible garden bed, consider using squash, tomatoes or even an herb garden right by your front door. Or try something different: Try planting herbs or fruit trees for a nice display during springtime when there’s nothing else blooming yet (though if it’s winter outside then this won’t apply).

Conclusion

There are so many options out there for what kind of plants you can put in your planter boxes, it would be impossible to name them all. But whether you’re looking for something colorful, unique, or edible—or any combination of the three—there are plenty of options to choose from. Just remember that when it comes time for planting, always follow the planting instructions included with each plant. These instructions will help ensure that your plants thrive in their new environment.
