I overwinter 2 enormous Boston Ferns in my garage. They stay on the front porch in the summer. We have had them for 10 years and they were given to us by a friend who had them for several years prior to that. They are too large for us to lift and hang, so my husband built some sturdy tall stools for them to sit on. Between the two of us, we can lift them and make the semi-annual move from porch to garage.

I have an enclosed porch, but it still goes below freezing out there. I overwinter geraniums in my garage leaving them in their above ground pots and have some that are 4 yrs. old now. They look better every year & I'm saving $. I don't even water them all winter. I prune them back in the spring.
