Spice up you Summer Garden

Your garden may be looking a bit drab at this time of year and if you are looking for something to brighten things up for autumn, try introducing some pots or containers with some new flowers.

Bill Calkins from Simply Beautiful Flowers says, “Just as bright, lively varieties fill our flower beds and containers with cheer in the spring, autumn-coloured flower selections can add beautiful elegance to a home and accent the landscape as the colours begin to change.”

“Fall is a great time to experiment with texture and colour in your container gardens. While mums and asters can be spectacular and classic in a autumn container garden, there are lots of other choices that will last beyond the first frost. Try combining different heights and forms, or go simple and pot a single dramatic plant in a beautiful container.”

Go to your local garden center to see what is available and from there you have a world of choices. It is up to your creative time to make something beautiful out of your end of summer garden.
