Dwarf marigolds are easy to grow from seeds. Don't put in too many, they may all germinate! However, they do not grow all year. Summer is their favorite time of year. Put in sunny window and cover with saran wrap til they pop.

I have plants all through my home and yes most certainly plants work in bedrooms. Go for some thing that adds a statement whether it be a small violet plant, a succulent that produces masses of flowers, a fern to add grace and movement or a taller statement plant - or be like me and go for all types - especially those that flower. I am in my late 40's and have been a plant fan all my life. I have had to let some go over the years but I still have one plant from when I was 12 and it is massive - people do not understand what I mean when I say I spent hours pruning my indoor plants. Plants indoors and out are fantastic.

Hi Michelle - It looks like treated pine to me, and looks as though it has been recently built. If you did nothing it would fade to a grey colour within 6 months or so. This would probably blend in with the house quite well, and you wouldn't have to do a thing! Otherwise I would stain it - there are lots of stains on the market - see if there is one you like. A dark one would create a nice contrast with the house and make the fence look more like a feature. Good luck!
