Outdoor Entertaining

Outdoor entertaining is one of the great joys of spring and summer. Until, of course, the bugs invade. I love hanging out in our new backyard, but the mosquitos seem to LOVE me – and not in an endearing way.

In place of spray and pesticides, I read to try a cluster of mosquito-repelling potted plants. Grouped together near a seating area on the deck or patio, they will make a pretty and lush addition to the outdoor landscape while also protecting me and my guests.
