Everything we bring to the garden, the patio, or the deck, says a little bit about who we are and how we like to present our homes. As a realtor, I am always emphasizing that first impressions are key to being the best home on the market. How your outdoor spaces look is something everyone can focus on before they list their home, or just to enjoy as a home owner or renter. Spring is a wonderful time to clear out the winter debris, add some fresh color and create a welcoming environment. You might dress up your entryway with planted pots, galvanized containers with veggies and cherry tomatoes, or the traditional summer geraniums that greet you when you come home. Buyers really like these types of accents and homes on the market always should look their best. If you’ve wanted to dabble in creating a garden and are new to the process, there are many resources available here in Seattle and some great local nurseries such as Swanson’s Nursery and Sky Nursery. You’ll find a variety of great plants. Enjoy!
