Pansies are such a perfect companion for fall containers, landscapes, and all types of porch and patio decor. With so many varieties available at the garden center, it is close to impossible to make a decision on what the perfect color or combination is best for your fall look this year. What does your horoscope tell you? Should you go bold today? Maybe a softer look will fit your theme better?
The weather is getting cooler and the colors of the season are starting to change. It’s finally that time of year where our Green Team staff can share their fall favorites!

Pumpkins are the most iconic identifier that fall is finally here. Without these gorgeous vine-picked squashes, we wouldn’t have our beautiful fall porches, our memories of fall with family, and...just about everything pumpkin spice-related! Since there are so many ways to use pumpkins to ring in the fall season, it’s hard to remember some of their most basic origins. This includes the simple, but integral, pumpkin pie.
Nothing says the “start of fall” like chrysanthemums (or mums for short). We start bringing these blooming perennials in our stores at the beginning of September and the entire store begins to acclimate into autumn. Not only do these amazing bloomers give fantastic fall vibes, but they are also extremely easy to decorate with, and upkeep, for years to come.
We are getting into our autumn groove here at the garden center with incoming decor, plants, and garden supplies to prep for fall gardening!
