Spice Up Your Garden with Fall Decor: Decorating Ideas for AutumnFall is a celebration. It’s the celebration of a successful summer growing season with a much anticipated reward – a bountiful harvest. So it’s no surprise that our autumn-themed outdoor decorations reflect this.

In autumn, we show off our pumpkin and gourd collections, and we decorate with warm colors. Many of us love to bring all of this together in charming arrangements in our yards and gardens, and on our front porches.
Whatever type of outdoor space you are decorating this autumn, you’ll probably want to include the standard harvest season decorations like hay bales and pumpkins.
But don’t forget other types of decor you can use to create a warm and cozy seasonal scene.
PumpkinsHmm, what to decorate with for autumn? Pumpkins? Well, of course!
Decorating with pumpkins isn’t limited to Halloween. This is the time of year when we gardening fanatics harvest our bumper crops of pumpkins, winter squash, and gourds.
With their earthy autumn colors, they don’t just taste good in a pie, they’re also extraordinarily attractive.
If we’ve had a green thumb year, there’s a big pile in many shapes and colors to show off. They make great decorations – arranged elegantly on a front porch, spilling out of an old rustic wagon, or lining your front steps.
You can use different shapes and sizes to create an attractive centerpiece on a patio table, or add a pop of fall color outside a shed. Try hollowing one out to hold a dried flower arrangement.
If you have been in the habit of buying your pumpkin porch decor, next year, why not try growing your own?
