News — Fall Planting Season

Fall is not the end of the gardening season. It is another opportunity to plant, plan, and prepare for a more beautiful spring.

Spring isn't the only window for planting - fall's warm soil and cooler air give trees, shrubs, and perennials a head start on next year. Plus, there's still time to sow a few fast-growing vegetables before frost.

Fall is one of the best times of year to plant a tree or shrub — the cooler air and warm soil give roots a head start before winter. Here's a simple, step-by-step guide to planting depth, watering, and mulch to help your new plant settle in successfully.

This time of year is all about finding the happy middle ground — tomatoes and petunias still going strong alongside newly planted mums and perennials. As we gently wrap up summer stock, it's the perfect time to refresh a tired pot, add fall colour, or plan ahead for the second planting season. Visit Family Flowers to bridge the seasons with ease.
