Create a Fall Eden

Just because it’s the Fall season doesn’t mean that the planters and gardens have to go. In fact there are certain plants that bloom during the winter season, such as poinsettias. These are great holiday plants that you can place around the mailbox or along the walkway. Plus there are some great planters that you can put in plant boxes near the windows.

If they are looking a little rusty and worn down then chances are you should replace them or clean them up. For the gutters, you can go with vinyl which are easy to maintain and no painting or a more classic look with the copper but it’s more costly and more to maintain.
