Overbearing pots!

Speaking of too much of a good thing, the decorations are not the only things that could make your garden seem smaller than it actually is. You should also take a look at all your pots and make sure that you do not have more than you actually need. A study made by gardening experts together with real estate experts has found that most people have on average about 10 to 15 extra pots when compared with how many they actually need.

Sticking to a bigger pot with an array of plants will look so much better than a ton of smaller pots scattered all over the patio and garden. The visual clutter that too many pots in different sizes and shapes will bring will make you tired instead of feeling good or relaxing in your own yard.

You should do some gardening when it comes to all your pots and planters and see which ones you should be keeping and which ones maybe some friends and family members would need. This doesn’t mean you should get rid of your plants. but rather that you should make sure they’re living their best lives, and that can be achieved by coordinating them and grouping them together at times!
