fake plants

Yes, it's true...I use fake plants outside on my porch. I try to mix in a couple real ones as well but the majority are fake. This may come as a surprise to many but if you saw my porch you would understand that even Martha Stewart would have a hard time keeping all of the plants alive! As Jon and I prepare the house to be sold this Spring we are staging it and the porch is a BIG project. I think fake plants are a great idea because they never look bad and you can't tell they are fake until you get right up on them. Fake plants look so real in fact that I currently have a fake fern hanging from my porch and I watched this morning as 4 birds landed and tried to make a nest in it. If my fake plants can fool birds they can fool anyone!
