Fall is a great time to plant
Cool air + warm soil = strong roots.
In the Pacific Northwest, fall planting gives trees, shrubs, and perennials months to establish healthy root systems before winter, so they burst out next spring with less stress and less watering. Just remember: all new plants still need regular, deep watering their first few years to truly thrive.
Warm soil speeds root growth while cooler temps reduce transplant stress.
Fall moisture nurtures new plants and helps them knit into our native soils ahead of summer droughts.
Mulch protects plants now and through winter.
