Pussy Willows and Pansies

Spring Planters

I really love pansies. I love how delicate and colorful they are. For my spring planters, I wanted to use this flower. I chose a small variety in light and deep purple with a hint of yellow to tie in with my spring wreath:

These little planters were so easy. I already had the containers. I got them at Target last year, they were by Smith and Hawken. The pansies I picked up from Home Depot and my mom brought the pussy willows on Easter.

John and Conor helped me plant the pansies:

I thought that pussy willows with there sweet little silvery puffs would add something soft and little different:

So I got out the pussy willows, twine and my secateurs.

I put four branches around the outside of the pansies and then a bunch inside and joined with a bow of twine. I’m really happy with how they came out and the best part was it only took me about five minutes.
