Nothing says springtime like a festive mailbox planter.  The basic model can be planted with your favorite flower and either spray-painted the color of your choice or left the classy white.

Nothing says springtime like a festive mailbox planter. The basic model can be planted with your favorite flower and either spray-painted the color of your choice or left the classy white.

After many years in the garden business while teaching enthusiasts how to create a landscape of color around their homes, Teresa Monares and Mark White decided to start a company that would help homeowners decorate their mailboxes: Creative Mailbox Planters.

Their one-of-a-kind mailbox accessory is a white house with flowerbeds on both sides that slips over your existing mailbox. You can leave the mailbox planter plain or add add a finishing coat of white or clear gloss the outside for easier cleaning. Customers might also want to spray paint over the white.

Don't forget to submit a photo of your creative mailbox planter to the Teresa and Mark.  They upload the best creations to a gallery on their website.  Some of the stand-out images include planters decorated in Halloween theme with dark, draping plants drooping over the planter sides beneath ghouls and pumpkins, and a southwest one with cacti and a couple thick-stemmed, sturdy flowers poking out above a decorative wagon wheel.

If you want to paint your planter in order to go along with a theme, Teresa and Mark recommend using a clear plastic primer spray paint along with any spray paint color you like.

Teresa and Mark use one of the nation's top-rated rotational mold manufacturers and make their planters out of eco-friendly, high-density polyethylene and proper drainage holes for healthy growing conditions.

To use artificial flowers, hot-glue two foam florists bricks per side.
