Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD is just outside the Washington, D.C. beltway near Silver Spring.  In our younger years we would take road trips there for the mammouth jungle gym and for me, the gardens.  They have beds of perrenials, annuals, a green house and a gorgeous pond in their Japanese Garden.  This planter  would make a cheery gift with a gerber daisy plant in it at an affordable price.  Afterwards you have upteen things you can do with the planter – a topiary, a vase with live, dry or silk flowers.  The decor is dressy/casual and yellow always makes you smile.

Hint:  A plant creates a statement too and leaves the container with much to do.
