You might already have a plant or two sitting in your backyard. So why not add a few more to liven up your swimming pool? Poolside plants add lush textures and vibrant splashes of colour that give your pool a calming, peaceful feel. It’s as if you were in your own private island getaway.

 You don’t have to start big with a full garden, just a few potted plants will do. Also, opt for full sun plants that don’t shed a lot of leaves. They are low maintenance and produce the least debris.
