Seasonal Containers

Fall Containers

Autumn brings lower temps and a softer palette

As the days get shorter, we see the bright summer shades of fire engine red geraniums give way to the more muted tones of burgundy chrysanthemums. It’s also a time to celebrate the harvest season by incorporating pumpkins, squashes, and dried seed heads into your designs. And let’s not forget, for those who want to add a touch of humor to their plantings, Americans spend more on decorations for Halloween than any other holiday except Christmas.

A bit of witch whimsy in this 14 inch urn
