chris olsen’s spooky garden decor how-to

Posted on 13 October 2011

A little fun on Halloween goes a long way. These ghosts are tastefully funny and add a little ‘spook’ to your Halloween decor. Groupings of pumpkins with potted yellow mums complete our fall look. Maiden grass planted in the flower beds will bloom ever so gracefully each fall season.

You will need: Assorted types and sizes of pumpkins, potted mums, blow up ghosts and heavy fishing line.

Step 1 – Use fishing line to tie your ghosts into the trees and grasses. When hanging think of how they would look flying through the air and tie them accordingly.

Step 2 – Place mums in pots and set in yard; mine are on either side of the gate. Then place pumpkins, stacking and leaning, varying colors and sizes for interest.
