Autumn in Melbourne brings cooler temperatures and consistent rainfall—perfect for refreshing your garden after the summer heat. At Aumann’s Garden Centre, with stores in Eltham, Templestowe, and Plenty, we’ve got everything you need to prepare your plants for the season ahead!
- Plant Seasonal Colour
Autumn is a great time to add vibrant colour to your garden. Consider planting:
🍁 Pansies & Violas – Hardy flowers that bloom through winter.
🍁 Chrysanthemums – A classic autumn bloomer.
🍁 Cyclamens – Ideal for shaded spots with beautiful, long-lasting blooms.
- Refresh Your Veggie Patch
Cooler weather crops thrive in autumn! Now is the perfect time to plant:
🥕 Root vegetables – Carrots, beetroot, and radishes.
🥬 Leafy greens – Spinach, kale, and lettuce.
🧄 Garlic & onions – Plant now for a winter harvest.
- Feed & Mulch Your Garden
Replenish the soil with compost and organic fertilisers to give your plants a nutrient boost. Adding a layer of mulch will help retain moisture and keep roots warm as temperatures drop.
- Prune & Prepare for Winter
Now’s the time to trim back summer perennials, deadhead flowers, and lightly prune roses to encourage healthy growth. Remove any spent annuals and refresh garden beds for the season ahead.
- Lawn Care for a Lush Green Look
Autumn is the best time to:
🌱 Aerate your lawn for better water absorption.
🌱 Top-dress with compost and fertiliser.
🌱 Reseed patchy areas for a lush winter lawn.
