The nights are beginning to cool off which triggers that inescapable feeling that we are ready to move on to the fall season. Football is all around, vacation is over, kids are back in school and the rich earthy color tones of the fall season are here. Creek Side Gardens is here to help you spruce up your outdoor décor with mum, pumpkins, straw and more!
Creek Side Gardens Fall Porch Kit
We created the porch kit years ago and the idea has been a big hit ever since. Many return customers come in early and ask, ‘when will you have your porch kits?’ By the 2nd week of September, we will have the components to make your porch kit which includes (1) bale of straw, (1) bundle of corn stalks, (1) medium size pumpkin and (1) 8” flowering mum.
Buy two kits to create a grand display at your front door.
Specialty Pumpkins
Classic pumpkins are perfect for carving and porch kits but remember we also carry some unusual varieties. Cinderella, Jarlsberg, Long Island Cheese, and Ghost pumpkins are great additions to your outdoor space. Stacking the colors makes a great ‘Zen’ Cairn.
Cinderella pumpkins with their concaved top are perfect for creating a living succulent garden on top. Simply add some moss and arrange small succulents and you have a fun table arrangement. Be sure to spritz daily to keep the moss and succulents wet.
Mini, pie pumpkins and gourds are so much fun! You can pull out your glue gun and adhere some faux leaves, flowers or moss.
Jack-Be-Little and Wee-Be Little pumpkins and small gourds and perfect for a holiday table runner with greenery, candles and natural elements.
Annual Flowers for Porch or Patio
As hot as our summer has been, even with the best care, summer annual flowers may be looking a little tired about now. What a perfect time to change it up.
Remove all spent summer annuals, remove old roots and debris. Till in some fresh potting soil and your ‘summer’ pot is ready for the bright jewel tones of fall. Creek Side has fall flowers for you. Mums, rudbeckia (black-eyed Susan), zinnia, kale, ornamental peppers or pansies.
Here at Creek Side, we also made fall patio pots, pre-made for you to pick up and take home. Set it out with a Creek Side Gardens porch kit – job done!
