Bring Your Porch or Garden to Life With Late Summer & Fall Plants
At this transitional time of year, your plants are going to need to be hardy enough to handle the changing weather conditions. These flowers will need to hold up during the occasional warm, sunny day, as well as the incoming cooler nights, and maybe even some light frosts. Plus, you’ll probably want to begin embracing the vibrant, bold colors of autumn.
To help get you on the right path, here’s a brief overview of some of the best picks, when it comes to sprucing up your porch or garden in the fall or end of summer.
Children and Gardening
Ultimately, starting a garden with your child is beneficial in more ways than one and will help them build skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.

The benefits of gardening cannot be understated, especially when it comes to our mental health. Outdoor gardening has a fair amount of cardiovascular and other physical benefits, but for those who do not have the space outside, indoor gardens are just as viable an option.

This member of the mint family features aromatic leaves and flowers that are popular for cooking purposes, medicinal use, and home projects. The following are just a few of the benefits of adding lavender to your home garden.
