One Kings Lane Gardening Tips

Follow www.TheBudgetQueen.com on Facebook

Outdoor entertaining is one of the great joys of spring and summer. Until, of course, the bugs invade.

In place of spray and pesticides, try a cluster of mosquito-repelling potted plants. Grouped together near a seating area on your deck or patio, they make a pretty and lush addition to your outdoor landscape while also protecting you and your guests.

Check out One Kings Lane's article Easy Update: Mosquito-Repelling Potagerie for more information about how a trio of lush potted plants will have you saying good-bye to bug spray.
