shade container gardening, front porch plants, begonias, ferns, caladiums, porch makeover—today I’m creating beautiful shade-loving containers for the front porch and refinishing a vintage wicker sofa!
If you have a shady porch or patio, I’m sharing how to combine begonias, ferns, and caladiums for lush, layered containers that thrive without full sun 🌿 These combinations are perfect for adding texture, color, and a classic garden feel to your entryway.
I’m also giving new life to a vintage wicker sofa—refinishing it to create a cozy, inviting porch space that ties everything together 🌸

I have some pink and white begonias I'm starting inside for my shady backyard and they're just starting to poke through the soil! For me in zone 5, hopefully they'll be ready at the right time. Love the way yours look ❤
You have beautiful pots. Thanks for the video.
Everything looks beautiful you do a great job🎉
Pretty😍
Beautiful garden ❤
I LOVE buying one plant and dividing it into more!
Love the plants you started. Bought a pink dragon plant yesterday.
How beautiful- love the perfect combination of begonias, feathery asparagus fern and caladiums! Those mushrooms are the cherry atop the cake👌 Great design work, Amanda!
Nice color mixture and the mushroom statue just sets it all right off pretty.
You find more nice things on Market place. I am giving it my best to start my drip system, it is eating my lunch. It is looking good
I'm about 20 yrs older than you and yes, it's an airplane plant for me too. Everything looks wonderful.
💜💜💜💜
❤love the mushroom
Such great ideas. What is the vine that you have in the front that grows up and then kinda over your porch and garage?
I started begonia tubers indoor back in Feb w you. I just noticed 2 pink petals on one of them. So exited!
Your creativity is wonderful to watch. Those mushrooms are adorable.
You positioned the porch pots so well. When they fill in, there will be a waterfall of color! What a cozy sitting space.❤😊
Uhoh I don't have a shade container garden yet for my patio. You're influencing me! Yours is beautiful 😻
What is the large vine growing in the front porch
The flower and fern combinations are absolutely gorgeous! Not completely sold on the mushrooms, though.
