Cement patio needs a good look. Help?
We live in a senior community. We have two patios. Front and back. Don't know how to make these areas look good. Our previous home had a large front and back yard. I loved to garden; however, I don't know how to work on cement.

Just look at doing a container garden. There are all kinds of different ways of doing them. Here’s a couple.
You might take a look at earth boxes. Do a search online. They are easy to use and you can't overwater. I've grown both flowers and vegetables in mine. They come in different colors.
Your best bet would be to do container gardening...either a series of pots or build rectangles right on the cement pads...that way you can control my how much or how little you wish to ‘garden’ in any given year
