CALLOWAY'S TIMELY TIPS OCTOBER 2011
Usher in the Autumn season with creative displays for indoors or out! Pumpkins, gourds and bales of hay all started arriving in our stores in late September. Combine them with pots of mums and other blooming color and a transformation quickly occurs!
Create an eye-catching vignette in your landscape with bales of hay, a scarecrow or two, multiple sizes of pumpkins and pots of garden mums or other seasonal color. Create a pyramid of pumpkins and squash by selecting different colors and stacking them one on top of the other. Simply displaying a “pile” of pumpkins in the same color palette and different sizes will draw ones eye and interest to an area of your landscape.
Color Creations filled with blooming or colorful foliage plants can be used on patios and porches. Freshen up existing containers and nestle an interesting pumpkin or gourd in amongst the plants. You can also fill a favorite container or pot with a mixture of produce for a simple, impressive look!
A pumpkin or squash can easily become a festive flowerpot for Fall. Select a perfect “container”, one without any scratches or nicks and one that will sit flat and not roll around. Cut an opening and remove the loose pulp inside. Add potting soil and plant directly into the “container” or leave the plants in their own pots and place them in the “container”. Remember that this is only a temporary but unique flowerpot!
Achieving a colorful transformation that will carry your home and landscape through Thanksgiving is just a clinic away! Calloway’s will be hosting the following informative clinics during the month of October. Please join us as we celebrate the arrival of Autumn!
