8 Fall Gardening Ideas for a Colorful Seasonal Transition

The arrival of cool, crisp weather means it's time to bring a fall touch to your garden. Summer will be missed, but see this as a way of extending the season so you can continue to enjoy your outdoor space (and bring a bit of that greenery indoors). Fall is a good time, too, for taking stock of what did and didn't work in your garden this year, and getting a plan in place for the year ahead.

Fall gardening is all about replacing faded summer flowers, renovating borders, and replanting containers. In other words, now is the time for planting. It could be finally getting around to choosing that tree you've been thinking about, or sowing a selection of spring-flowering bulbs or vegetable varieties that will relish the cooler weather.
