Autumn
Halloween spookiness
Autumn is the time for cozy moments, warm drinks and soft blankets while nature changes color outside. 🍂
There's something special about the cooler days when we gather with family and friends, light candles and enjoy the fresh, crisp air. But fall is also the time for Halloween, when we can add a touch of spookiness to our homes and gardens. 🎃👻 Pumpkins, lanterns and little ghosts can create a fun and festive atmosphere that combines the best of fall with the playful spirit of Halloween.
How to decorate your planters for Halloween:
🎃Create a scary garden! 🎃
Fall has arrived and that means Halloween is just around the corner! 🎃
This time of year is all about creating coziness with a spooky twist, and a fun and easy way to bring the Halloween spirit to your garden or patio is by decorating your planters. In this blog post, we'll give you some creative ideas on how to turn your planters into little Halloween masterpieces - whether you're going for a more elegant decoration or something that will make your guests' hair stand on end! 👻
Pumpkins and lanterns: Classic Halloween atmosphere 🌕
Pumpkins are probably the most iconic symbol of Halloween. Place different sizes of pumpkins in and around your planters to create a beautiful and cozy arrangement. For an extra wow effect, hollow out the pumpkins and insert tea lights that will cast a warm, golden glow over your plants. Lanterns with LED lights can also be a good idea, especially if you want a maintenance-free solution.

Cobwebs and creepy crawlies: Add a spooky twist 🕸️🕷️
To add a little extra spookiness, use fake cobwebs and small plastic spiders. Drape the cobwebs over your plants and planters to create an abandoned garden or “haunted house” atmosphere. Plastic spiders or small bats can be hidden between the branches for an extra scary effect that will delight children and adults alike.

Autumn colors: Nature's Halloween palettes 🍁
Halloween isn't just about horror - it's also a celebration of the beauty of fall. Use the colors of autumn to highlight your planters with beautiful flowers like chrysanthemums, which come in deep orange, red and yellow hues. Dried leaves, chestnuts and branches can also be used to create a natural and warm fall decoration that feels festive and cozy at the same time.

Decorative figurines: Give your guests a little shock! 👻
For the brave, small decorative figures such as ghosts, witches, skeletons or bats can be a fun addition to your planter boxes. You can easily place them between the plants so that they “hide” and pop up in surprising places. It's sure to give your guests a little shock when they take a closer look at your Halloween decorations!
Inspiration for what to plant
A good tip for planting on Halloween is to choose plants that suit the season and at the same time create a beautiful and atmospheric effect. Chrysanthemums are an obvious choice! This beautiful autumn flower comes in warm, deep colors like orange, red and yellow, which are perfect for the Halloween theme. They are not only decorative, but also hardy and can last a long time, even when the weather gets cooler.
Another great choice is cabbage plants, such as ornamental cabbage or decorative kale. Their dramatic colors - from deep purple to light green - create a strong visual contrast and give a rustic autumn look to your garden or planter boxes. Combine them with pumpkins and lanterns for a great Halloween decoration that also brings life to your garden.
These plants will both bring out the fall mood and make a beautiful base for Halloween decorations!
