Every year the month of October ushers in colors of autumn across the American landscape. Capturing the American Spirit of this unique time of the year Poet Carl Sandburg (1878 – 1967) paints the colors of autumn in the following way:
I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands around me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o’-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.
With the arrival of October, Hyams Garden Center tries to pass on the same excitement that Carl Sandburg, a champion of the American Spirit, felt about the approaching Halloween and Thanksgiving. Do visit our Garden Center to buy Halloween décor, crotons, cyclamen, pansies, violas, mums, snap dragons, marigolds and a lot more other attractive spooky décor and plants to usher the spirit of the season into your homes and gardens.
