Dress Your Garden For Fall
The warm summer days are shortening and the spring and summer flowers are fading. Now is the time to think of some ways to keep your garden colorful and beautiful as fall rounds the corner.
It's not too late to add plants that will look great in your garden in the fall. Many garden centers are offering season end bargains. Annuals that haven't sold may look a little worn, but with a little TLC and a few days in a cooler, shadier spot they can be a great bargain.
Ornamental grasses are a great choice to add beautiful texture and color to the garden in the fall. Fall's warm temperatures and moisture will allow plenty of time for grasses and other fall perennials to get established before winter.
Adding colorful plants, grasses, and branches and dried grass to unique large containers will really add some "pop" to your entry way or along pathways in your garden. Some items to use with your plants could include dried wheat stalks, ornamental dried corn, small pumpkins, willow branches, pussy willow branches, burning bush branches,or crab apple branches. Good plant choices are crotons, grasses, ornamental kale, marigolds, mums, or any fall colored plants you can find.
There are many great items of garden decor that will also add interest to your fall garden. Garden flags, rustic statues and unusual containers are available in great autumn colors and themes.
Plan ahead, use your imagination and shop for fall bargains and your garden will gracefully transition into fall and winter.
