Autumn decorations in the garden

When the leaves change color and nature offers an abundance of branches, moss, pumpkins and wilting flowers, you can let your creativity flourish and decorate the garden with autumn elements. With a little imagination and the use of natural materials, you can transform even the smallest corners of the garden into atmospheric oases.

Wreaths and bouquets made from wild branches from trees and shrubs are a simple and charming way to decorate. You can collect branches from beech, oak or birch that still have their withered leaves, as well as twigs with berries from, for example, elder or rowan. Make a beautiful wreath for the front door or hang it on a garden wall to welcome guests. Wreaths can also be made from dried flowers and seed pods from summer flowers, or you can add some moss to give them a green, lush look.

Old zinc tubs and bird baths can easily be reused as decorative elements in the autumn garden. Fill them with pumpkins in different sizes and colors – white, green and light orange create a beautiful and subdued palette. Use moss and perhaps a few dried flowers or pine cones to create a natural decoration. Moss is a fantastic resource in autumn. The green, soft moss can be used as a decorative base in jars, tubs or dishes and gives a beautiful, natural look. You can also place moss between pumpkins or along paths in the garden to create a fairy-tale feel. In combination with wild branches and small lanterns, moss gives a forest-like feeling that exudes the tranquility of autumn.

Pumpkins are of course a classic when it comes to autumn decorations in the garden. Besides placing them in pots or zinc tubs, you can use them in the beds or along the paths as a decorative element. If you want to give them a slightly different look, you can sprinkle some moss around them or stack them at different heights together with dried branches. The dull, earthy colors of pumpkins stand in beautiful contrast to autumn's green moss and dark green plants such as chives or heather.
