Every season has its own hosting priorities. In the winter, we get cozy, put on a fire, and have friends and family over to celebrate the holiday season (hello, hygge!). In the spring, we want to host picnics and brunches outdoors, celebrating the oncoming season of reasonable weather. In the summer, it's all about barbecues and spending time under the sun. But in the fall, hosting really goes to the next level.
Fall is that perfect window where it's a bit too chilly to spend too much time outside, but it's still warm enough to want to bring people together in the fresh air. It's the season where we switch from serving lush salads to serving warm dishes, soups, and autumnal drinks. And what better way to show off your seasonal hosting chops than with fun and useful servingware that doesn't feel dull? That carries the theme?
With some smart new additions to the Better Homes & Gardens collection at Walmart, fall hosting just got even easier—and even more special. While these servingware finds are dynamic enough to work any season, they have a certain style that feels oh-so-autumnal. Whether you're dressing up your back-to-school seasonal gathering or you want some elevated pieces for your Halloween party tablescape, this dishware is here to help.

Fall will be here before you know it, and we know what that means—it’s time to bring out thefall decor. Of course, exactly how to decorate your space for the season may be trickier than it seems. As you’re deciding which route to take, why not consult your zodiac sign?
Fiddle-leaf fig plants (Ficus lyrata) are loved for their large, green, glossy foliage, which makes them beautiful houseplants. However, caring for this plant can sometimes be tricky, mainly in fall and around the onset of winter when many gardeners notice their plant starts dropping leaves.

Green leaves are the energy engines that fuel our gardens. Without them there would be no flowers, no sugars for summer tomatoes, and no cooling or oxygenating the air while growing the mighty trees that give landscapes a sense of time and permanence. A gardener’s admiration of leaves can quickly fade, however, when faced with brown leaves blanketing everything from azaleas to annuals, and patios to pools. Leaves are suddenly a problem, something to manage—in other words, work.
Let's be honest: staying on top of cleaning and organizing every room in your home can get overwhelming—and before you know it, piles of junk on countertops and crammed-full kitchen cabinets can feel unmanageable.
Even if you aren't fortunate enough to live next to a meadow of wildflowers, you can still capture their untamed beauty in a container or garden this summer by planting cosmos. Cosmos come in various colors, from burgundy to pink to white. Mix them up for a more natural look, like a wildflower meadow. Bonus: this colorful flower, native to tropical America, attracts birds and butterflies with its cheery blooms. Because of their wildflower characteristics, cosmo flowers are considered invasive in some environments. Cosmos are prime not only for containers but for creating a mass of color in borders or backgrounds or as a filler among shrubs.
When you picture the perfect fall-styled front porch, it’s safe to assume there are a few staples: a few pumpkins, gourds, and some potted mums.
Looking for something unusual to grow in the garden? Look no further than chocolate cosmos, a tuberous perennial with velvety blooms and a decadent fragrance. With showy wine-red blossoms that perfume the garden with the distinctive aromas of chocolate and vanilla from mid-summer through fall, chocolate cosmos entices butterflies and curious gardeners alike. The blooms make fragrant cutting for the vase and plants perform beautifully in containers, where their scent can be enjoyed on patios and balconies. Bring the beauty and aroma of chocolate cosmos to your own garden by learning how to grow and care for these unique bloomers.
