MY MAINTENANCE FREE FAUX GREENS

My New Faux Greens

Our outdoor spaces have been getting some attention now that the cold harsh weather has passed.

We were able to get concrete poured for the in front of our garage, sidewalk and a couple other places. It is amazing how that changes the feel so very much! So all of that then leads to planting glass and landscaping! I did plant a few real bushes but my favorite thing as you may already know is faux greenery! Indoor and Outdoor.. Maintenance free greens are so helpful to keeping a space more tidy and then are so easy which is what sells me right away! No watering, no trimming, no caretaking but pretty all the time - ohh, yes please! 


Now don't get them wrong faux greens are a bit of a investment right away but they do end up saving you money in the long run as they last so much longer than any real greens do and can be used for years!


Today I'm sharing 4 new faux greens I've gotten that I am loving this season!

(Check out my Instagram "Proverbs31girl" to watch a fun Reel on me placing all the greens!)




First up these little Larksilk Artificial Greenery come in a pack of 6. I got these for the wooden window box that is outside along a window at the old guest house/new proverbs31girl office. I figures our the window box Is long enough for 9 of them in a row, which Is just perfect. The coloring of this green is a very natural bloom spring color. Almost identical to our big freshly budded green trees!

Perfect greens to make a window box look complete!



Next to the window box is a Vickerman 6' Green Potted Cotinus Coggygria Tree.  It is right outside the office door and between the window box. As you can see as well I have 2 more of them outside the glass doors of the great door (picture below)

These trees are great! HAHA can you tell I love this tree?! I own 3, clearly can't get enough..

They have wire inside of the stems so shaping them is very easy and fun to be able to move around the branches if desired to create more of a spacey look or a together bunchy look.

Many options with this tree which is a huge plus!

These 2 Ball Topiary Bushed Potted Shrubs I love! They come in a pack of 2. The shape is something different which I like the round next to the outside dutch door. The stem is wood and they come concreted into the pot they come in which is amazing for staying put.

They also stand a little bit taller in an additional pot which I like the extra height it gives over here!

Annnnd they look super realistic which is what I wanted! That is always the risk taken when shopping for faux plants it can get a bit tricky knowing if they will look real or not but these ball shrubs sure pass the test, woohoo!



Also, If you can't already tell this is a sunny warm spot in the morning off the side of the garage, this Is where you can find the puppies and sometimes the kitties too laying here enjoying the sunshine in the morning hours HEHE.




Lastly,  my 4' Guihua Ball Shape Topiary Tree.

I've been drawn to different shape items lately. I was in love when one day I came across both of these and knew I had to get my hands on them! I'm trying to decide if I want to keep these here in front of the garage here or bring them to live at the cabin. I have a spot where I had envisioned for them there but I am torn between spots right now. This tree comes in a set as well. When shopping for greens I try to  look for greens that come in packs, I find it easier to place them when there is a twin to place too.

Especially if you are wanting something for each side then getting a pack of 2 makes them symmetrical and pretty.

I defiantly recommend this tree for many reasons but specifically the height, shaping and durability they have.

They sure do give off a fun curb appeal, yes even in the country ;)
