Are built-in deck planters worth it? Here’s what they can give.
Decks can come with many additions, some of which are seemingly more practical than others. It is completely up to you how you want to furnish your beautiful outdoor living space. In Maryland, there are many lovely days to spend outdoors on your backyard deck. Among all the features to add, what are the benefits of deck planters?
Fuel Your Passion for Gardening
Built-in deck plant boxes can flank your deck stairs, line one side of your deck, fill the corners, or divide outdoor living zones. If you love gardening and plants, then a backyard deck brimming with plants may be natural! It is just another way to fuel your passion for growing beautiful flowers, shrubs, etc.
Beautify Your Outdoor Living Space
An outdoor living space can be very plain or downright ugly if it is not furnished well. However, the right built-in deck planter design can be the foundation to beautify your outdoor living area in a unique way. Plants enliven any place they live. Plus, if you have annuals, you can change up your plants to celebrate the seasons.
Attract Wildlife
Growing flowers is a great way to attract wildlife to your backyard and help them thrive. Bees, birds, and other pollinators will love certain flowers growing on your deck. In the winter, seed pods can become a tasty and nutritious snack for birds.
Grow Your Own Produce
Who says you have to use all your deck planters for flowers? You can also use them to grow your favorite produce like tomatoes, basil, rosemary, potatoes, strawberries, and more. There’s something very satisfying about growing a bit of your own fresh produce.
Keep Your Backyard Deck Cool
While the change in temperature may not be drastic, growing plants on your deck can actually help keep your deck cooler in summer. Plants have evaporative cooling properties and release plenty of clean oxygen in exchange for the carbon dioxide we exhale, creating a wonderfully healthy ecosystem.
