September is the Secret Season for Great Gardens

September is a natural reset for your garden. Cooler temperatures make it an ideal time to plant, establish strong roots and prepare your landscape for the seasons ahead.

Adding fall favorites like asters, sedum, Japanese anemones, ornamental grasses and heuchera brings new color and texture as summer blooms begin to fade. Planting now also gives new additions time to settle in before winter.

The Backyard Reset

A fall refresh doesn’t have to mean starting over. Clean up garden beds, add fresh mulch, replace tired summer containers and bring in seasonal color. Small updates can make a noticeable difference.

With more comfortable temperatures, it’s also a great time to enjoy your outdoor spaces. Landscape lighting, comfortable seating and a few seasonal touches can make your backyard feel ready for everything from morning coffee to fall gatherings.
