There are a lot of things we all love about this time of year – bright blue skies, vivid colors and long, lazy days are just a few of them! And as the sunshine lingers well into the evening, we often find ourselves at backyard picnics and impromptu pool parties, enjoying the outdoors every minute that we can. Whether you have a white wraparound porch, a stone garden patio, or an urban apartment balcony– flowers from Casas Adobes Flower Shop are sure to transform your outdoor areas into a botanical oasis without all the work of cultivating a garden.

You may not have a fully stocked flowerbed surrounding your home, but gorgeous seasonal flowers can still adorn your space. Potted plants, patio gardens, and hanging baskets are all easy ways to add color and life to any space in minutes. From petunia to pansies, there are many varieties of flower that you can select to set the color palette. Strategically place the flowers in and around the seating areas to completely immerse you and your guests in the outdoor vibe; you can also hang baskets from the eaves of your front porch, or from a shepherd’s hook along the perimeter of your property. With the ability to move these arrangements easily, you can quickly switch from a blooming front porch with great curb appeal, to a flowering back deck for the party – all without purchasing new displays.

Here’s a Tip: To decorate for get-togethers and barbecues, choose baskets filled with flowers capable of being re-planted in gardens, such as flowering shrubs or bulbs. After the season is over, you can transplant to the flower beds for long lasting beauty.

It’s summertime, and the living is easy in Tucson. Make it gorgeous as well, with the purchase of fresh seasonal flowers from Casas Adobes Flower Shop.
