My Favorite Color is Fall

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, there’s a certain magic that fall brings—a tapestry of vibrant hues, from fiery reds and rich oranges to deep purples and golden yellows. Fall isn’t just a season; it’s a whole mood—a time to embrace cozy comforts, warm colors, and the beauty of nature as it gears up for a well-deserved nap.

Here at Lakeview Nurseries, we firmly believe that every season gives us a new excuse to play in the dirt (like we need one!). This fall, we’re inviting you to explore our handpicked collection of fall favorites. From stunning fall blooms to the season’s best pumpkins and gourds, we’ve got everything you need to give your space that autumnal glow-up—without needing to break out the pumpkin spice latte (but hey, no judgment if you do!).

Discover the Colors of Fall

Fall plants are like nature’s fireworks—bright, bold, and impossible to ignore. Whether you’re into the vibrant blooms of mums, pansies, and celosias or the textured foliage of kale, asters, and ornamental grasses, our selection at Lakeviewis packed with all the essentials to make your garden the envy of the neighborhood.

And let’s not forget the stars of the season—pumpkins, gourds, and those picture-perfect fall leaves. These beauties are your go-to for crafting eye-catching porch displays or creating a rustic, Instagram-worthy table centerpiece. Mix them up with some of our favorite plants, and you’ll have a fall display that’s as unique as you are—because at Lakeview, we know one size never fits all.

Transition from Summer to Fall

As we wave goodbye to the lively colors of summer and welcome the warm, soothing hues of fall, it’s time to think about how you can bring that autumn vibe into your home and garden. Whether you’re sprucing up your existing spaces or starting fresh with a new container garden, we’ve got a few ideas to get those creative juices flowing:

Front Porch Displays: Grab some mums, ornamental kale, and grasses, and toss them into large containers. Accent with pumpkins and gourds of various sizes for a welcoming, layered look. And if you’re feeling extra festive, throw in scarecrow to really crank up the seasonal charm.

Table Centerpieces: Mini pumpkins, gourds, and a mix of smaller 4” pot flowers like asters, mums and pansies make for a simple yet elegant centerpiece. For that extra rustic touch, incorporate natural elements like cat and nine tails, dried wheat, dried pods or pinecones. (Pro tip: Pinecones make great cat toys after dinner!)

Garden Bed Refresh: Add some perennials like asters and anemones to bring fresh color and texture to your garden beds, and use small clusters of pumpkins or gourds for additional interest and seasonal flair.

Lakeview Nurseries Staff Favorites

We’re not just plant geeks; we’re plant geeks with opinions! Our staff at Lakeview Nurseries love the versatility of using gourds and pumpkins in porch displays and centerpieces. If you’re looking for inspiration, take a leaf out of Kim’s book—she creates beautiful and unique fall centerpieces with a mix of pumpkins, gourds, and fresh-picked fall flowers.
