Fall Entrances

After a glorious October, it finally feels like fall in the Bay Area. I have put away Halloween, but the pumpkins are still here. How does your front door welcome you home? Here are a few pots and ideas.

The black pot really grounds this fall arrangement. You can plant the ornamental cabbages and just add fall berries as color.





Another great black urn, this time with hydrangeas. Just plop the 
pumpkin on top!


Are your hydrangeas dead? Then use what you have. Fall leaves 
create this amazing arrangement. (Again, the recycled pumpkin!)

If where you live plants are dying. (or if you are skilled at plant 
annihilation like myself) the twigs are always a good choice. 
Their structure and color can make a simple and elegant front door.



Fall does not always mean orange! A single color statement provides 
wow. The white pumpkins underneath brighten the pot.


I know. I should have called this post 'The Black Urn.' They do make 
create a fantastic shape and base for just about any planting. 
Happy fall!
