Fall Fun

 A few weeks ago, our local garden center had their annual customer appreciation day. And we were able to go! This was the driveway going in.


It was all held outside. They had hay rides.


And pretty fall flower arrangements.



The vendor's booths lined each side of the parking lot.


One had these cute socks folded to look like little animals.


These animal scrubbers really tempted me.


Believe it or not, the was a Christmas wreath! See the nutcracker?


Not sure what this was!


This booth was full of fall things.


There was a goat feeding station.



And these cute owl garden stakes.


On the way out.



Mums in bloom and pumpkins stacked,

 Hay bales lined and scarecrows packed.

 Crisp air hums with cinnamon cheer—

The garden center shines this time of year.

Ginny, what a great post! I love your header and I absolutely love all your photos! The goats, the sweet cat, and socks shaped into animals? I saw a video on YouTube about how to fold TOWELS in the shape of animals...like they do in some hotels! I found this really cool! Not sure I could do it, but I enjoyed seeing others do it!
The flower arrangements are gorgeous!

I would hang that header photo on my wall if I could afford to put it on a large canvas... its stunning and is the Florida Look I love. what a fun place to visit. I would love to stroll through it. the cat thing you don't know what it is, I am guessing it is someone like me that loves to draw and can't. ha ha

Wow, Ginny ... you are one fantastic poet. I love your descriptions.
That is quite a garden center to celebrate fall. How fun, I would have liked to be there too.
I do love the owl garden stakes. the goggly eyes really make them cute.
Have a great weekend.

This looks like a fun place to visit. I know that in our area, several of the nurseries around here have started having family days with all kinds of entertainment for kids. great opportunity to have fun, buy a pumpkin or two and purchase a few mums.
