9 Design Ideas for a Magical Garden
My mom is moving into a retirement community soon and we have been on quest to make her indoor atrium and outdoor patio something that she could really enjoy. Both sections only have tile with absolutely no place to actually plant so this is definitely going to be a potted garden.
