Garden Club- Making Fall planter

It seems almost without warning, the cool days and colder nights of early autumn are beginning to take their toll on my  once brilliant summer blooming container displays.
Yesterday the Garden Club   travelled to Courtland Garden Center to make   fall planters.......

Amber the seminar leader gave us tips on using a thriller a filler and a spiller to make attractive planters.....



Amber giving instructions
 We came away with creatively  inspired  containers to brighten   front porches before Ol Man Winter arrives with   cold, snow and  chilly winds..

Hum  what to do!
