Your Autumn Plant & Garden Guide 🍂
Autumn is when gardens settle into their most beautiful season rich colour, cooler days and the perfect conditions for planting. At Aumann’s Building & Garden Supplies, we’re here to help you make the most of this rewarding time in the garden.
As the weather cools across Melbourne, it’s the ideal season to plant. The soil is still warm from summer, allowing roots to establish before winter sets in. Now is the perfect time to add structure and colour with autumn favourites like ornamental grasses, camellias, pansies, violas and snapdragons. For stunning seasonal tones, maples and deciduous trees bring vibrant shades of red, orange and gold to your landscape.
Autumn is also prime planting time for vegetables and herbs. Get your veggie patch thriving with broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, silverbeet and garlic. Herbs like parsley, coriander and thyme flourish in the milder conditions, giving you fresh flavour straight from the garden to your kitchen.
Don’t forget lawn care during autumn. This is the season to aerate, fertilise and top-dress, helping your lawn recover from summer stress and prepare for winter. Applying quality mulch to garden beds will regulate soil temperature, retain moisture and reduce weeds, a simple step that protects your plants through the cooler months. Our team can help you choose the right mulch and fertilisers for your specific garden needs.
Autumn is also the perfect time to plant trees and hedging, allowing strong root growth before spring’s burst of activity. Screening plants like Lilly Pillies remain a popular choice for privacy, while evergreen shrubs provide year-round structure.
At Aumann’s, we pride ourselves on offering expert advice, healthy plants and a wide range of garden supplies, all in one place. Visit us in Templestowe, Eltham or our Plenty Clearance Centre this autumn, and let our friendly team help you grow a garden you’ll love season after season. 🍁
