This is my riff on the famous “Doors of….” poster series. It features the holiday container plantings I’ve seen around my hometown, Northfield, recently. This weekend promises to a busy one here, with Winter Walk scheduled for Thursday evening and the St. Olaf Christmas Festival on tap Thursday through Sunday so many of the businesses have “spruced up” for holiday visitors. The photos are (clockwise from upper left) a detail from one of the pots at Buntrock Commons, First National Bank display, Ole Store, Present Perfect, Buntrock Commons again, and Tiny’s Hot Dogs.

Wonderful idea, and gorgeous pots!
Thanks for featuring Present Perfect (located at 419 Division Street) My hope is that more and more downtown Northfield businesses will install window boxes as time goes on. They are an inviting and festive feature that brings people in the store, easy to take care of and fun to change with the seasons. If anyone wants help finding sources, I am happy to oblige.
Mary, Thanks for stopping by! Present Perfect always looks great — outside and in!
Gorgeous pots! Thanks! Dry sand works well too, instead of compost or soil.
