Cambriea!! Girl!! This looks SO beautiful!! If you want to prolong the life of your faux plants, you can spray them with an outdoor fabric spray! This will protect them against fading and drying out. ❤💕🌿
I can’t walk well any more, so real plants for outside and tending to them is not possible, as I fall a lot…My floral arrangements are ‘Fake’ and look real, plus I do not care what others think…They make me happy and it saves on my water bill….Hugs, N
This is literally the best idea ever!!!! It looks great and hardly no maintenance, I'm definitely doing this. Who would have thought of faux flowers genius!
I just keep hearing the tik tok “nobody’s gonna know... how would they know” lol!! It looks so good though! I have fake flowers around my mail box and everyone thinks they are real! Lol. Awesome idea. And love how he was so proud to go and buy his toy with his money!🥺😍
My in laws had a neighbor that completely filled her front flower bed with fake flowers every year...it looked like a small English garden and no one knew except for a couple of neighbors...it looked beautiful. Yours turned out great!
I do too, especially in my window boxes, my friends to them as my Tammy Fay Baker flowers....From the road..it looks good. Now if I could just stop them from fading...
Here in my neck of New Mexico we don't have any shade out front so we pack our flower planters with Dollar Tree silk plants and flowers. From the street you can't tell their fake.
Wow! You and Bobby have increased your home's curb appeal 1000%! Looks fabulous! Everything looks real! Your neighbors must be thrilled because they all can enjoy your hard work too! Y'all should be very proud!!!!
since your husband mentioned his tools, I think he could make a wooden flower box with a hole in the back for that pipe under your front window..... paint it white to match the window trim and fill it with faux ferns
Thanks for sharing,I am glad I am not the only one that uses fake flowers,in my pots this year u mixed fake with flowers,it worked out so well,for wu terri u placed fake flowers in front yard garden,un summer I mixed real with fake,I like to see growth in plants,they seem to keep me calm,I love your red mulch. I might try that one year,
You do what you have to do. Personally, I think it was a great mom saver this year especially with a little one plus and trying keep plants alive. Looks lovely 💕
You guys are so amazing. I love the teamwork. We just bought this house, its about to get cold and i do not want to plant real plants right now but just wanted to make the front pretty, Incidentally I just had those same bricks delivered this morning with some black mulch. Thought to myself would fake plants be so weird and i came to RU-vid and searched garden with fake plants. Thank you! I am about to go right back to Amazon now to add the plants to the solar lights in my cart. I will do before and after pics for sure.
Looks great but I worry that strong winds and rain will ruin everything you did. How do you keep the plants in the ground and the planters from toppling over or blowing away in bad weather?
The flowers have fairly long stems, and with the Weed Barrier material you have to push threw that into the dirt, between those things it holds them in place pretty well. We have had some storms since we have done this and they seem to be fine, no lost flowers yet.
It looks beautiful! You're a girl after my own heart! I too can't grow plants and wanted a design using red geraniums. So I fill my pots and window boxes with the fake version. It looks great from the street and the plants don't get that sparse and "leggy" look. 🌺🌸🌼
I just wanna tell you I really enjoyed your flowers. I done fake flowers this year. I was tired of buying flowers and they dying and I’m having to repeat it’s spend all that money so I done ’t fake flowers this year and I am so excited about my fake flowers everybody Tell me, how pretty they are and I’m really excited.
Wonderful idea, the winter here lasts way to long and the cold kills all the natural ones except for the evergreens this is a great solution, thank you for sharing
I’m a master gardener and so... I want to talk you into how easy it would be to plant a front garden for pretty cheap, but I get it. :) I’m eager to hear how they hold up. I have fake topiary in my vestibule and they even fade and wear pretty quickly.
Cambriea, you are a genius !! The fake flowers and trees are amazing. I am totally using this idea for my front yard and I will also add some of the fake decorative grasses too. Thank you for sharing, I would never have thought of this w/o your video.
I personally want to say thank you for sharing this video and taking the time to do step-by-step of your own ideas. This is wonderful as a homeowner being able to adjust to your own style throughout the seasons and reusing items as well. I am very happy with watching your video and coming up with my own ideas may God continue to bless you and your ideas to share. Thanks again. I will be trying to indicate this throughout my landscaping, thank you so ❤much. This is a huge on having to constantly focus on planting, digging watering and removing plants over and over again.
Looks very nice. I've been using faux flowers in front of my porch for 3 yrs now😊 Spring time, I've got some tulips that are quite full and spectacular!! Your home is lovely and the cherry on the top is when the AMERICAN flag is put up.🇺🇸 Have a wonderful summer to all...
Oh no! I'm a farm girl. If you plan on putting in more flower bed. The easiest way to remove sod is, take your shovel and cut the sod into strips now take a pitchfork and poke it into the strip one way and then go back the other way. Now you can roll the strip of sod up and place it anywhere you want. Just a suggestion.
just wanted to thankyou verymuch for this video/info ,,,,ordered the exact flowers useing links and just used them in front of my house,,it turned out beautiful,,,thankyou
Stop it! All the birds and bugs in the garden are giving you the side eye right now lol All jokes aside, looks good. Probably saving on that water bill to lol
Wow! I'm inspired to use fake flowers now! I've been beating myself up trying to plant Annuals with all kinds of specialized fertilizers to make them bloom bigger and stay longer... I never once thought about fake flowers! Thank you for posting this! I'm going to start my research immediately!
Just came across your remake of front of house. What a big difference ! Can you do my house ? :) How are they looking now so far from 2 years ago ? Very good job !!!!
To think in the 60s, when saw faux flowers in our neighbor's yard,we laughed. Probably because back then they were plastic. Now I'm looking for ways to mix it up,since my knees won't allow me to plant the way I used to.
Ill be honest it looks really good .i spend a lot of time in my yard& flower beds planting & movied plants adding .i usally want to smack Pepole for wanting or e veing thinking about plastic or fake plants ? But you rocked good for you! 💚👍thankyou for shareing .
My boyfriend and I bought a home together 10 years ago and when we moved in there was no garden. I’ve always wanted to do a little garden to give the front of our house some curb appeal and I finally decided to just jump in and do it and Wow! What a job! I think creating your boarder lines and tearing out all the grass is the hardest part! It takes some real muscle power!
Where did you get all your fake flowers and trees from?! (Fellow WI mom here, got no time to maintain flowers with kids). (And I also have fake flowers in planters - but my mom bought them and brought them, and planted them, etc) love it!!
This looks amazing. I have so many questions. How do these hold up with weather (wind), and do you have to remove them in the winter. I can’t believe how good they look!!! 😍😍😍
I wanna do this. But I'm afraid my neighbor will judge me. She has a beautiful garden that she loves to maintain. But this way it looks good all year around! And no weeds and it doesn't attract bugs
I've been doing fake plants and flowers in my garden for years, as soon as I found out that I didn't have a green thumb. I get most of mine at the dollar store and they last a long time and look great
Excited to watch because I've been wanting to put flowers in my front yard but I do not have the green thumb so this is definitely a good idea. Definitely gonna try this when I record my front porch decor makeover. Gotta give you your shout out for this idea.
Looks great! I would I have never thought of this. Wonder if the sun will turn your trees that blue/faded Color? Keep us updated. I’m curious to know how it goes!
