Give your Guests a Festive Fall Greeting!🍂

As the temperatures begin to drop and talk of the first frost arrives in the 7-day forecast, now is the time to put focus on decorating the outside of your home with autumn decorations!

From a cozy front porch to a harvest garden, we are sharing ways you can add curb appeal to your home with seasonal fall décor to give your guests a festive greeting upon arrival and be the envy of the neighborhood!

Gorgeous Foliage

If you’re enjoying the autumn season living in Southern Maryland, you’re fortunate to have the gorgeous fall foliage of brilliant colors right outside your front door!

Give your front door a fall wreath with colors of rich gold, burgundy and orange from the leaves collected around the yard. Or, for a wreath that will keep your look fresh throughout the winter, pick up a variety of artificial flowers and leaves from the craft store to create a door that will stand out from the rest!

Pumpkins-a-Plenty

Line the front walkway with assorted sizes and colors of pumpkins and gourds to add the perfect personalized touch to your landscape! Add fresh mums to welcome guests up the steps of your front porch for a display of festive décor. Stopping by a local farm or pumpkin patch in Southern Maryland to enjoy a day of corn mazes and apple cider? Pick up a bushel or basket of apples, corn husks, or bright and colorful mums (in addition to pumpkins of course)! Then create your own autumn assortment and enhance the look of your home!

A Harvest Garden

Create the ultimate fall garden with herbs, flowers and plants that can withstand the colder temperatures. Late growing seasonals like mums, chrysanthemums, pumpkins and ornamental cabbage, rich in red, purple and orange hues, add brilliant color and texture for a harvest you can share with friends! Showcase your gardening endeavors with a window box or planter on the front porch to greet your guests!  Enhance your front porch or back yard with string lights to entertain guests, with a display of mini-pumpkins and gourds, as an add-on to your autumn evening ambience!

These are just a few ways you can give your guests a festive fall greeting and enjoy the best of living in Southern Maryland! If you’re looking for a new home offering scenic views, visit Olivers Crossing, located in Hughesville, MD, for a picture perfect setting for every season!
