🌿 Think spring is the best time to plant? Fall might just surprise you!**

Cooler temperatures and warm soil give many perennials and shrubs the perfect opportunity to focus on what’s happening below ground: building strong, healthy roots. That means a little work this fall can help set your garden up for success next spring. 🌸

Wondering when to plant, what varieties are best for fall planting, and how to care for them before winter? We’re breaking it all down on the blog! 👇

Our hearts are still so full. 💚🌿

Last week, we welcomed garden friends from near and far to our annual Signature Garden Event here in Carleton, Michigan, and somehow, these days just get more special every year.

There’s something pretty incredible about seeing so many of you travel from across the country to walk through the gardens, learn more about the plants you love, ask questions, share stories, and experience a little piece of what makes Proven Winners so special.

But our favorite part will always be you. The conversations, the laughter, the familiar faces we get to welcome back and the new garden friends we get to meet for the very first time. 🥹

To each and every person who made the trip to spend these days with us: thank you. Truly. We wouldn’t want to share our gardens with anyone else.

Until next year, garden friends. 💚 You make our hearts a whole lot fuller. 🌸
