This is the ideal time to plan out your garden and grow some amazing varieties for the coming seasons.

Apart from trees, you can grow garden plants, grasses, shrubs, ferns, etc.
A well- designed landscape during this season can yield wonderful results in late summer and fall season.
Some of the options that you can consider for your garden this season are- Flowering Trees - Flowering trees can add a dimension of color to the landscape during late summer or fall through their fall foliage.
