Start with a no-spend approach for planning your al fresco scene this Spring. After all, it’s the season to clean up and start fresh, but that doesn’t mean that you have to toss out the old and start with the new, right? Definitely not! Because you can still decorate your backyard patio or garden with elements that you already have at home.
