Her beautiful, color-coordinated plants are fit for fall with shades of deep purples, greens, and soft reds, all encompassed in terra-cotta pots and wooden outdoor planters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re inspired to transform your own porch or patio into a fall planter paradise, turn to Gaines&#8217; expert advice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Leave Room for Spontaneity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It all starts at your local nursery, where you\u2019ll be able to look at plants that thrive during fall in your area. Gaines reminds fall gardeners to have an idea of what they\u2019re looking for while plant shopping, but to still keep an open mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen you go to the nursery, leave room for spontaneity,&#8221; Gaines said in the Magnolia Journal fall 2025 issue. &#8220;Going in with a plan is helpful so you don\u2019t feel totally lost, but a variety that catches your eye in the moment may be worth trying, and that\u2019s part of the fun. Before going to the nursery, I\u2019ll create a mood board with photos of what I\u2019m going for, including a color palette. I\u2019ll choose one or more colors to highlight in each planter so the grouping feels cohesive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make sure you have an idea of your budget and know where you want to plant before you go to your nursery. From there, you can dream up a color palette or ideas of specific plants you want prior to heading in, or you can leave it up to fate by walking around, finding what plants speak to you, and chatting with nursery staff to see what ideas they might have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thrillers, Fillers, and Spillers<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Always make sure you have a good balance of plants that will help you style your planter like a pro. Gaines has a rule she follows when arranging her planters: use thrillers, fillers, and spillers. Thrillers are the eye-catching plants; they\u2019ll likely be tall and draw the eye in right away. Fillers are the background of the planter; think of them as your planter\u2019s ground cover, to fill in the gaps and provide fullness. Spillers are the trailing plants that will add dimension and life outside of your planter\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Don&#8217;t Be Afraid to Cluster Plants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You should also keep in mind that a planter can never really be too full. \u201cWhen it\u2019s time to style the plants, if you\u2019re going for a full, lush look, plant two or three of each variety per planter\u2014don\u2019t be afraid to cram them in there,\u201d Gaines said. \u201cThis will help you see which plants overtake each other so you can decide what you\u2019d like to try next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Make A Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gaines also recommends styling multiple planters to stand together, rather than displaying a single planter on its own. She says that groups of three to six planters can create a balanced focal point, whether you choose to display your planters on your porch, patio, or in your backyard. Try utilizing planters of varying heights, sizes, and shapes to create even more dimension.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is also a good time to play around with the color and texture of your planters, too. If you\u2019re not interested in grabbing a matching set, you could choose complementary colors and vary the texture of each planter to add more visual intrigue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Embrace The Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Above all, Gaines leaves a reminder that gardening is all about experimentation\u2014and maybe a little bit of failure, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen things don\u2019t go as planned, embrace the process,\u201d she said. \u201cGardening is one big experiment where failures lead to helpful discoveries. Even if your favorite varieties don\u2019t take off like you hope, their one burst of beauty is worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Planters are a wonderful time to experiment with new plants and ideas you haven\u2019t tried yet. After all, your arrangement will be completely contained in its own pot, and it\u2019s easy to pull plants out and try again later. Even if it takes a season or two to make the planter of your dreams, it really is all about the fun of gardening\u2014not just the gorgeous end result.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhg.com\/joanna-gaines-fall-planter-tips-11806341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Fall Planter Tips Joanna Gaines Swears by for The Perfect Porch Display<\/a> by Sophia Beams | Better Homes &amp;
