If you have a porch and don�t know how to decorate it, try adding some outdoor style to it using lawn ornaments. They can range from wind spinners and wind chimes for at or above eye level d�cor to flower pots, stands and garden statues at waist or floor level. There are even garden plaques you can find to decorate your walls with. Lawn ornaments are a fun way to decorate your porch.
8. Wild Corner - I know this may be hard if you like a neat and tidy garden, but leaving a wild patch can be very entertaining and visually very pleasing. Nettles and other wildflowers attract butterflies and bees, and it's often suprising how delicate and colourful wildflowers can be when allowed to grow in their own space. If you're still unsure, how about building a little fence around the area and making a wooden plaque declaring it a wildlife zone...well, it was just an idea!They must be in at least a slight draught, which you should be able to find outside with ease. Also, they can scare the birds away from your fruit bushes. Hang them on the patio and in the vegetable garden.10. Rock Gardens - Rock gardens can take on different themes and colour schemes throughout the year with a little careful planning. There is again some heavy physical work involved when you're putting together your rock garden but well worth it in the end. Make sure you can get to all areas for weeding, watering etc; Try out different rock plants and flowers until you feel happy with the overall view, and even then you can change it. Nothing's set in stone!
Using your porch to display a range of lawn ornaments is a great idea, especially for people who live in 4-season areas. Wind chime and wind spinner lawn ornaments make perfect d�cor items for eye-level viewing. Planter stands have the capabilities to display an assortment of lawn ornaments and even books for readers. Garden statues and large garden planters are great lawn ornaments for the floor level. These ideas should set up your porch atmosphere nicely.
