Fall is a great time of year to plant, decorate, and, of course, enjoy the beautiful Hampton Roads weather! There are so many ideas and projects to choose from that the gardening opportunities are almost overwhelming. Staff Fall Favorites Week is the time of the year where we gather our amazing Green Team members to talk about their fall favorites of the season, to further help you on your gardening journey.

Pansies are one of the toughest and most beautiful annuals that we carry here at the garden center. Year after year, there is no getting tired of them, with new varieties that come out, the wide range of colors, and their versatility in the garden. But is there really only one way to plant pansies? Of course not! Pansies can be used in a variety of ways to make your fall even more fabulous.  

Do you feel the mornings getting cooler and the days getting shorter? The fall season is upon us!
