Backyard movie anyone? Dad would love this for #fathersday !
Pergolas are great for subtle sun coverage and to garnish with climbing plants.
Flowing curtains made with outdoor fabrics can be added to your pergola for a pop of color and extra privacy.
Line your pool or privacy fence with wildflower beds. Flowering plants like daisies, poppies or black-eyed Susan’s are colorful and great for using in larger beds.
Fun fact! Black-eyed Susan’s also Maryland’s state flower!
