Now is the time to upgrade your outdoor space. Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a fire escape–turned–patio, the best accessory is one-size-fits-all: planters.

Greenery always makes a space feel homier, so why not give your seedlings the perfect home, too? From classic terracotta to funky terrazzo, we’ve gathered our favorites to inspire your next outdoor overhaul.
