As summer fades and cooler mornings greet us, September brings a fresh rhythm to the garden—and to life. At Anna’s, we welcome the shift in season with open arms, new inspiration, and the return of fall favourites. It’s the perfect time to cozy up, get creative, and celebrate the beauty of autumn.
Whether you’re picking your first pumpkin of the season, diving into a workshop, or refreshing your garden with vibrant fall colour, there’s something for everyone this month at Anna’s.
Pumpkins Are Arriving!
Pumpkin season officially begins the first week of September, and we couldn’t be more excited! Whether you're looking for traditional orange beauties or funky heirlooms in every shape and colour, Anna’s is your pumpkin destination this fall.
Fall Plants for Seasonal Colour
Cooler temps don’t mean the garden has to slow down. Add vibrant life to your front steps, containers, or garden beds with these hardy fall favourites:
+ Fall Planters – Ready-made or DIY, bursting with seasonal texture
+ Coneflowers & Rudbeckia – Bold, bright, and butterfly-approved
+ Ornamental Peppers – Spicy pops of colour
+ Ornamental Kale – Frilly foliage in rich purples and greens
Fresh From the Field
Fall produce is rolling in—and it's as local and delicious as ever! Stock your kitchen with the season’s best:
+ Squash – Acorn, butternut, spaghetti & more
+ Apples – Crisp, juicy, and perfect for snacking or baking
+ Potatoes – A staple for all your cozy fall meals
We’re also thrilled to be bringing back favourites from Iron Kettle, Parks, and Misty Glen—you’ll find their signature fall flavours throughout the store.
Support Local with Fall Fundraisers
Community is everything. This fall, we’re proud to host and support a variety of fundraisers that benefit local schools, organizations, and initiatives. Every planter or product purchased through a fundraiser helps make a difference right here in Windsor-Essex. Ask us how to get involved!
Fall Workshops Are Back!
This season, we’re offering a full lineup of creative and hands-on workshops to inspire your inner maker. Gather your friends or come solo—there’s something deeply satisfying about crafting something beautiful (and seasonal!) with your own two hands.
Here’s a peek at what’s coming up: Pottery Nights, Record Painting, Candle Making, Door Hanger Decorating, Pilates in the Greenhouse, Fall Planters Workshop...and more!
Spots fill up fast, so be sure to register early.
Thrifted Market – September 27 & 28
Mark your calendars! Our beloved Thrifted Market returns at the end of September with two days of vintage finds, garden treasures, handmade goods, and cozy autumn vibes. Come browse, sip a warm drink, and soak up the start of sweater weather.
September is a Season, Not Just a Month
It’s a time of transition—when the air gets crisp, routines return, and the garden takes on a whole new personality. Whether you’re getting your hands dirty in a workshop, hunting for the perfect fall mum, or simply picking apples with the kids, we’re here to make your September memorable.
Come see what’s new at Anna’s—we’d love to help you fall into the season.
