Autumn and planters

When cold weather arrives, we have different ways to capture the spirit of harvest season.

First a few ideas and tip to clean up the garden before decorating:


Prune the hedges for the last time.

Rejuvenate the plants that grow every year.
Roses, trees and hedges can be planted at this period of the year. 
Retrace and fix climbing plants.
Pull out weeds. 
Plant flower bulbs and tubers. 
Make compost heaps to protect the garden against heavy rainfall. 
Add protection to frost- sensitive plants. 
Keep the pond free from falling leaves. 
Clean tools. 
Clean the greenhouse.

It doesn't hurt to let leaves and branches in the corners of your garden. This will attract hedgehogs and toads for hibernation. So let's move on, the tips below can be used for indoor and outdoor. The main focus for today is outdoor. 


How to decorate your garden for autumn?


The color palette

To warm up cold and dark evenings, combine campfire colors yellow, orange, red and brown. With light colors, such as grey will bring the bright colors in front.

Decoration
Because the weather is getting darker the leaves are falling, we will be losing lots of colors in our view. So it is time to bring lots of colors in the garden. Fill big pottery/planters with pumpkins/ squashes and add some flowers and plants. Find some pumpkin chandeliers for tea lights or light some lanterns to create the warm ambiance in the garden.  


Happy gardening!
