From the Potting Bench

Fall planter season is in full swing. Our stores are stocked with blooming asters and mums, and we’ve put together some fresh designs to inspire your planting! Try adding a wrought iron sphere or tuteur for a polished look. As the weather cools and plants finish blooming, leave seed heads and grass plumes to use as a base for evergreen arrangements in the winter. If you need help designing the perfect planter for your porch or want custom work, stop by our potting bench to talk to one of our experienced designers.
