Unfurl the Stars and Stripes
No Memorial Day celebration is complete without the iconic symbol of the American flag. Show your patriotism by proudly displaying flags throughout your garden. From large flags on flagpoles to small decorative flags on stakes, we’ve got options that will suit your style. Consider placing a flag near your garden entrance or adorning your patio with a flag-themed bunting for a festive touch.
Mesmerizing Windchimes and Hanging Twirlers
Enhance the soothing ambiance of your garden with the gentle melodies of windchimes and the whimsical motion of hanging twirlers. Choose windchimes that feature patriotic colors or designs, such as red, white, and blue accents or star-shaped elements. Hang them from trees, pergolas, or porch ceilings to create a relaxing soundscape that will fill your outdoor space with tranquility.
Garden Stakes: Express Your Patriotism Creatively
Garden stakes are versatile and visually appealing decorations that can be easily incorporated into any garden design. Look for stakes with patriotic motifs, such as stars, fireworks, or Uncle Sam’s hat. These eye-catching accents can be placed in flower beds, along walkways, or near potted plants to add a touch of patriotism to your landscape. Choose stakes with solar-powered lights for a stunning nighttime display.
Vibrant Red, White, and Blue Plants
Add a burst of color to your garden with red, white, and blue flowering plants. At Canterbury Farms Nursery & Garden Center, we offer an array of plant varieties that perfectly capture the patriotic spirit. Consider planting red firecracker, white roses, blue plumbago, or a combination of these hues for a striking floral display. Don’t forget to mix in complementary green foliage to create a balanced and captivating arrangement.
Create a Relaxing Seating Area
Transform a corner of your garden into a cozy seating area where you can unwind and reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day. Arrange comfortable chairs or a bench amidst colorful plants and decorate the area with patriotic-themed cushions and outdoor rugs. Hang string lights or place lanterns around the seating area to create an inviting ambiance for evening gatherings with friends and family.
