Fall is an excellent time to plant trees, shrubs, perennials, spring blooming bulbs and turgrass. Our incredible fall season here in Minnesota has many planting benefits. One big benefit is the cooler temperatures which are easier on plant material as well as the GARDENERS. Soil temperatures are still warm, which allows the root systems to take off, unlike spring when the soil temps are still cold.
With Fall weather comes time to start thinking about plant replacement, as many of the flowers you might have planted will not withstand these cold calm nights. Our mums are nice and full and offer beautiful fall color. We have several pot sizes ranging from a 9″ plastic pot to a 1 bushel wooden wire basket. All sizes offering spectacular color such as yellow, purple, and burgundy. Mums are a great way to add fall color, but they aren’t your only option. We have a wide selection of Kale, Pansies, and Swiss chard just to name a few. Mixing these in with your fall colored mums will make the neighbors jealous!
As Minnesotans we cherish our short summer months. But if you are like me, there is just something about the way the months during the fall season feel. The days are usually clear and sunny.

The kids head back to school and we settle into a routine again.
