Nesting Instincts

Gourds have become a staple autumn greeting on verandas around the South, and you can showcase the signature fruit with creative flair.

Repurpose a large vintage planter and a garland of twigs to fashion a nest-like stack of varieties that descend in size and span a spectrum of colors.

Finish off the look with classic additions like sunny yellow mums and vivid orange pumpkins scattered about the steps. Discover more ways to spruce up your outdoor spaces in the annual Pumpkins and Porches feature in our October 2021 issue!
