Thanksgiving and Holiday Plant Choices

By November, many of the summer annuals have faded or died, so you may have gaps in your landscape design. Annuals partial to cooler weather provide the perfect solution. Consider flowers like pot marigolds, pansies, primroses or violas. Foliage plants like cabbage and kale, lettuce or feverfew add variety and texture to your landscape, as well. Chrysanthemums are also a traditional favorite, with their rich crimson, orange, bronze, yellow and white blooms. Torch lilies, red ti plant and sedum  make a dramatic statement in your Thanksgiving plantings, along with the different colors and varieties of coleus.

The shades of fall come from the beautiful harvest yields, like pumpkins and gourds, as well as the transformation of summer's green leaves to the spectacle of color. Oranges, reds, yellows and browns traditionally signal the advent of Thanksgiving and can add warmth to the colder look of a winter garden. But it is important to consider how those colors will complement your home and the rest of your plants. If you find that the contrast doesn't work well, add foliage or neutrally colored decorating elements to separate the warring colors or opt for dried grasses and other similar plants in tans, browns or greens.

Holidays provide the perfect opportunity for you to let that frustrated designer sneak out to plan special landscaping displays to delight your family and make the neighbors jealous. Whether you stay small with a few pops of autumn color or go big with a full-scale spectacle, Thanksgiving provides a colossal theme for your commercial property canvas.

Make your office entry more connected to the holidays by adding a smiling scarecrow on a garden bench or on a bale of hay, surrounded by cornstalks, pumpkins, gourds and richly colored fall leaves welcomes friends and family with the warmth of the season, while wicker furniture spray-painted dark green provides a cozy place to share new memories.

The entire staff at Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance wishes you, your family and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving! It is a time that we should reflect on the blessings that we have. It is the time we should be focused on the positives that we are so lucky to have.
