Garden Variety

As fall unfolds in all its grandeur, we’re gifted with an abundance of natural décor ripe for the taking. Peruse your local farmers’ market and collect an assortment of gourds—the more variety, the better.

Seasonal flora makes for striking arrangements with blossoms like red dahlias, auburn mums, and white anemones filled in with kangaroo paw and wild grass, as well as textural accompaniments such as cabbage and artichokes.

A basketful of pumpkins gains interest with simple finds like fiery gomphrena, sunny chrysanthemums, and branches laden with clustered berries.
