Jeannette Demakopoulos, from Hicks Nurseries, helped put together the perfect spring planter with beautiful bright colors, and an array of inviting aromas. Here are some tips:
1. Start off with a lightweight pot.
2. Add potting mix.
3. Add three to five flowers - Hicks always works in odd numbers. Crunch the roots a bit to loosen the soil before adding to the pot.
4. Choose flowers of different heights and different states of blooming.
5. Don't be afraid to make a mess!

Cost: About $60, including the $30, 14-inch pot that can be reused.
