Halloween in the Garden

Posted by Angela England Sep 13, 2007

At my house we've been planning for Halloween. Not only trying to measure wiggling children and, yes, energetic puppies - we are preparing our garden for Halloween "Trick-or-Treat!" greetings. There are two main things we did to help prepare for Halloween at our house.

• Easy Walking: This week my husband carefully mowed the grass smoothed and filled in a couple uneven places in that lawn making it safer for foot traffic. We also buried the stepping stones so the top surface is even with the ground making it easier for children feet to operate without any trips or falls.
• Plenty of Lighting: We installed four new solar powered garden lights along the walkway and porch area. Of course, with the potential for many little ones running around it is important to have plenty of good lighting at your house. Outdoor lighting is now available inpexpensively and is a wise investment for any type of garden party. We have not only our regular porch light by the front door, but two garden lamp posts by our trellis porch, and now the solar powered outdoor lights along the path. I might move them around the garden beds later, but for Halloween they will shine brightly for the children's safety!
