"Fall is for Planting" banners will soon be found flying across the nation at your local nurseries and garden centers letting you know it is time to jump on the bandwagon and plant to enhance the beauty of your home grounds.

Trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs all can be included in this annual campaign to add new plants to your landscape or to replace plants which are not meeting up to expectations.

Whether you are adding a few plants or renovating an entire landscape, fall weather provides a more favorable environment for plants to establish before next summer's heat. With warm days and cooler nights, the plantŐs roots will continue to grow until soil temperatures dip below 40 degrees thus providing you with a head start for next spring.
