Fall Rule No. 1: Focus on Color
The season sizzles with breathtaking beauty. While you’re busy tackling garden chores, take time to absorb the scenery. If you’re in the market for a new tree or shrub, check out ones at local garden centers, which often discount nursery stock after Labor Day. Many natives, like sassafras (shown), bring fabulous fall color.
