Have a whiskey barrel planter or a large bucket or barrel that you want to turn into a planter? Here are tips for how to style plants for the best look! I got this Whiskey barrel at Home Depot but they are for sale at most garden centers.

You will need 3 types of plants:


  1. Growers
  2. Show-ers
  3. Overflow-ers

In the video, I explain what those mean!

The best way to select plants is to walk around your neighborhood and see what grows well for your neighbors with yards in similar light conditions. If it grows well for them, it will grow well for you - probably!
