Flower Box Awards: Sonia's Pretty Petunias

Our 2nd award of 2007!

Name: Sonia
Location: In her back yard in Prospect Heights

We have a little gift in the mail to you: a pot from Ecoforms and seed packets from SelectSeeds.com to help make your garden grow. Enjoy!

At first glance we wondered where Sonia bought planters in that color. We should have known it was a DIY project! This is a great send-off for this bright, sunny Memorial Day weekend. Take a look after the jump...

Do you have a flowerbox project you want to share with AT? Send it! Click here for complete details.

In Sonia's words:

The flowerboxes are plastic terra cotta planters I got from the hardware store. I drilled holes in the back, spray painted them aqua, and then tied them to my fence using zip ties that thread through the drilled holes and the fencing. I'm pretty proud of them.

Oh good! I just bought six terra cotta colored plastic window boxes. Wouldn't have thought to try to spray paint them, but now I'm going to for sure. Well, not this season, since they're all planted up already, but for next year anyway. Which gives me the whole summer to think about colors....
