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.
Optional colors
The optional colors are tree brown and autumn leaves colors in different shades. Do you already getting warm?
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.

"We bring boo- tiful pumpkins to your garden."
Bring pumpkins and scary entities into your home&garden because Halloween is coming!
A little history before we move to "Halloween in your home&garden". Halloween is originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. November 1st is the time to honor all saints and martyrs. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween). Over time, Halloween evolved into a community- based event characterized by child- friendly activities such as trick-or treating. No matter what history tells us, Halloween we see today is warm, fun and a little spooky.

Halloween in your home&garden.
The color pallet
Pumpkin orange is warm, happy and brings our mind to autumn.
Midnight black represents darkness of the winter. It brings mystery, power and
protection.
Optional colors are:
Bloody red (blood, fire and demons), eerie green (goblins,
monsters and zombies), ghostly white (ghosts, mummies and the full moon) and deep
purple (supernatural and mysticism).
Decoration
Add objects to make people curious and scare them right
away. Create the eerie effect with black lights and scary lanterns. Dig graves and add fake
body parts. Hang up skeletons, ghosts and catch people with spiders and their spider
webs.
The most important object of Halloween is the pumpkin. The
pumpkin comes from the myth of Stingy Jack, who died and finding himself
rejected by both heaven and hell. He was forced to seek a resting place for his
soul in darkness and legend has it that he hollowed out a turnip and used to
carry a coal to light his way. The first Jack-o-lanterns were carved in turnips
and changed to pumpkins when the tradition was brought o America .
