Unveiling Fall Gardening Trends for Texas Homeowners

As the fall season approaches, many Texans look to refresh their homes and outdoor spaces, welcoming the charm of autumn. Calloway's Nursery and Cornelius Nursery, two well-known names in the gardening industry, are excited to share their top three trends for fall gardening in 2025. With their extensive knowledge and expertise, they aim to inspire homeowners to decorate their patios and landscapes.

1. Diverse Container Gardens

Container gardening is a creative way to introduce fall colors into any outdoor space without requiring significant changes to the landscape. This year, Texans are encouraged to explore curated vegetable gardens that blend bright seasonal hues with perennial plants. The versatility of container gardens allows for experimentation with various plant combinations, making it easy to adapt and modify as the seasons change.

2. Pumpkin-Centric Decor

Pumpkins are more than just iconic Halloween decorations. This fall, homeowners can think outside the box and incorporate pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors into their decor. From classic jack-o'-lanterns to more artistic arrangements, the possibilities are endless. By pairing pumpkins with garden mums, cornstalks, straw bales, and gourds, Texans can create eye-catching focal points that celebrate the season. This mix adds texture and interest, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any porch or outdoor space.

3. Custom Garden Design

Personalization is the name of the game in 2025! Calloway's and Cornelius Nursery provide tailored garden design services inspired by various styles, from enchanting cottage gardens to native Texas landscapes. Each custom design project recreationally integrates personal taste with practical plant selections, resulting in outdoor environments that are not only stunning but also durable and easy to maintain for years to come.

Jennifer Hatalski, Vice President and Texas Certified Nursery Professional at Calloway's Nursery, noted, "Fall offers a fantastic opportunity for Texans to plant and prepare their gardens for future seasons. The arrival of cooler temperatures makes it easier to establish strong root systems for large trees and shrubs, ensuring a fruitful spring and summer."

To help inspire locals, Calloway's and Cornelius Nursery will host free Fall Porch Magic demonstrations across all locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, Cedar Park, Houston, and Galveston. These events scheduled for Saturday, October 11, will feature complimentary snacks and drinks, along with visual tutorials on creating festive pumpkin displays and beautiful fall container gardens.

In addition, to celebrate the arrival of fall, children attending the first weekend of October will receive free pie pumpkins, a tradition that has delighted many since 2005—so make sure to arrive early!

For those seeking expert advice on the best plants for their unique Texas climates, Calloway’s and Cornelius Nursery offer resources through 28 locations across the region. Customers can also visit their website for further details about the Fall Porch Magic demonstrations or for inspiration on gardening ideas.
