Fall is a great time to plant

Cooler air + warm soil = strong roots.

In the Pacific Northwest, planting in early fall gives trees, shrubs, and perennials months to establish healthy root systems before winter, so they burst out next spring with less stress.

• Warm soil speeds root growth while cooler temps reduce transplant stress.

• Fall moisture nurtures new plants. Remember: all new plants still need regular, deep watering their first few years to truly thrive. 

• Mulch improves soil and protects plants now and through winter.
