Outdoor Fall Decorating: The Potting Bench
Ideas for creating a beautiful fall potting bench with seasonal flowers like mums, yarrow and pumpkins.
We all love fall porch decor, but that’s just one way to bring autumn into your exterior decorating. I had so much fun decking out our potting bench for the season! Our potting bench is so handy when I’m potting plants and flowers in the spring and the fall, but it doesn’t just have to be utilitarian – it can be pretty too!
Keep a collection of beautiful pots and planters, and change them up with the seasons. These scalloped terracotta pots are gorgeous and bring in some subtle fall colors.
Coordinating your fall plants can keep the look cohesive. I like to choose mums and flowers in shades of white and purple.
This year I brought in yarrow, which is a beautiful addition. And cabbage is always such a pretty touch for autumn with its rich purples and deep greens.
Of course pumpkins go absolutely everywhere this time of year. I always gravitate toward cinderella pumpkins for their soft pastel shades, mixed with plenty of classic white pumpkins of course! Stack them on the ground or pile them in a gathering basket.
Since the potting bench should be useful as well as beautiful, be sure
to include the essentials you’ll need as you do your fall planting –
gardening tools, gloves, a watering can, a basket for harvest and other
necessities make the potting bench as convenient as it is pretty.
