Lush Patio Office

This vibrant take on an outdoor office strikes a balance between having a quiet place to gather your thoughts and a place where your creative spirit will be rekindled by the vivid colors, textures and scents of tropical plants. A space like this will keep you motivated to work even though you haven’t left home.

Several Alocasias that spend their winters indoors as houseplants are repurposed in these containers as focal points and will be brought back inside in the fall. A supporting cast of part shade-loving caladiums, begonias, Swedish ivy and others round out the combinations for the summertime.

Sunny Porch Office

This screened patio is transformed into a lush, inviting indoor/outdoor workspace by planting sun-loving ipomoea, coleus, calibrachoa and lantana. Sweet Caroline Upside Key Lime Ipomoea have a unique climbing habit that give these plantings vertical interest. Paired with ColorBlaze® Golden Dreams Coleus, they make a beautiful green foliage complement for pops of pink, violet and yellow color from Superbells® Calibrachoa and Luscious® Lantana Varieties. Who wouldn’t want to spend their work day here!
