Shamrocks in the Garden

There’s no mistaking the luck of the Irish with four-leaf clovers and shamrocks decorating the garden!

Look for cute clover picks and shamrock garden stakes to liven up your sleepy outdoor spaces this time of year.

These fun St. Patrick’s Day decorations would also look great indoors. Find a few houseplants with some extra space and spruce up their vibe.

So many waterproof yard decorations are available to dress up your garden with a festive theme. You can find yard signs of all shapes, sizes, and colors to match your Irish inspiration.

Consider rainbows, shamrocks, leprechauns, garden gnomes, unicorns, fairies, and other fun characters that seem to come out around St. Patrick’s Day.

Celtic Planters

Dress up your deck or other outdoor spaces with Celtic planters and pots. Arrange several Celtic pots in a grouping to create a lovely container garden for herbs, flowers, or ornamentals.

Choose gorgeous off-white and cream-colored pots with Celtic knot designs or concrete pots featuring other woven designs.

Irish Table Centerpiece

A beautiful garden themed St. Patrick’s Day centerpiece brings hues of green and earthy brown to warm up the dining table or other special space.

Check out this lovely “Grow Your Own Luck” botanical jar table centerpiece from Kohl’s. It has an attractive farmhouse style design with three glass jars brimming with artificial four-leaf clovers, grasses, and other plants.

Here is a live centerpiece spotted at Wendy’s Flowers in Gilbertsville, PA in March 2023.

Looks like a peace lily, white kalanchoe, and at least 4 other plants!

A lovely white and green shamrock ribbon ties it all together with the Irish theme!

Festive Holiday Plant Tray

My girls and I have a tray that sits on top of their craft cabinet in the kitchen. Every holiday, we swap out the flower pots to match the new holiday’s theme.

Truth be told, I couldn’t find an adorable Irish flowerpot or St. Patrick’s Day planter, so I picked up this green unicorn.

A green unicorn TOTALLY rocks St. Pat’s, wouldn’t you say?

Anyway, we will soon be decorating the craft cabinet for Easter next, and then Memorial Day, followed by summer!

Indoor St. Patrick’s Day Plants

False Shamrocks like Oxalis look gorgeous and play the part of an Irish plant for your St. Patty’s Day décor. Basically any green looks great, but have fun making connections to this festive holiday if you can.

Clover wrappers on plants look great this time of year. You can also personalize the flower pots with your own Irish and Celtic accents.

Lucky Shamrock Vases

Even if it might be a bit early for your own cut-flower garden in some grow zones, a shamrock vase makes a lovely bit of indoor St. Patrick’s Day décor.

I love to haunt stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, and Home Goods because their holiday decorating game is the real deal. (They also have loads of other amazing finds, from clothes to crafts and gardening gear!)

I am so excited to use these adorable clover vases that my girls and I picked out a month or so before St. Pat’s. We couldn’t agree on whether we liked the perfect vase better or the one with a broken four-leaf clover.

So, we bought both!

Right now, I am trying to propagate a rose cutting in the jar – hope it’s lucky!
