Bittersweet grows wild in my area so I can find the real deal each year but because it is an invasive plant and illegal to grow in most areas, real bittersweet may be hard to find.
Mums last weeks and add color and life to our decor! So, we need to be nice to them and give them a pretty container to bloom in and some supporting fall elements around them.
We grew our own gourds for decades! They are great for fall decorating. I love their bumpy surfaces, quirky shapes, and colors, and how they just look like fall to me!
Don’t forget to bring a branch of colorful leaves into your home to celebrate fall! Put it into a tall container with water and it will stay fresh for a couple of days!
