Gourd-geous! Putting Together My Fall Porch

Use squash, pumpkins, gourds and kale to decorate your fall front porch!  Simple and pretty!

Welcome to my Fall Porch!  Grab a pumpkin spice latte and come for a tour!

You might already know that I have this thing with decorating my front porch…I fill these pots with decorations on Valentines Day and Christmas.  It’s just so inspiring to switch it up for all the different seasons and holidays.  Each year I try to do things a little differently, depending on what I can find for decorations.  But fall is the best because decoration inspiration is everywhere…even in your grocery store!

I changed up these pots from what I put together last year, but I love them just as much.  This fall I’m loving kale, pumpkins, and gourds, so I put them all together and now my Fall Front Porch is ready to go!

Come take a look!

To put together these fall containers I used 2 big black planters I had for my summer flowers.  I left the dirt in them so I didn’t have to fill up the entire pot, and just laid the pumpkins, gourds and kale on the top.  I love how everything looks together.  I mean, how pretty is kale?!  I just hope it can handle the frosts that are just around the corner!

And the gourds! All fancy with their warty selves. You just have to love them…

 I love how they look like cornucopias full of harvest goodness. With all the colours I used match my Cozy Fall Yarn Wreath that I hung on the front door.

I love to decorate with pumpkins!  I bought quite a few because I like to have 1 per family member for pumpkin carving time at Halloween.  And I love their bright punch of orange.  I think they look great in these fall containers.

Simple.  Inexpensive.  Gourd-geous!
