Pumpkins and Gourds: Stop by your favorite local Louisville farmers market to pick up pumpkins and gourds of all shapes, sizes, and colors for your porch! Spend an evening carving pumpkins to add glowing Jack O’ Lanterns to your outdoor Halloween decor.
Mums: These fall flowers will add pops of red, orange, yellow, and purple to your yard.
Corn husks and sunflowers: Corn husks make for the perfect natural element to create a fun garland to hang around doors and windows. Sunflowers will also add the perfect warm fall tones to your yard!
Outdoor lighting: It’s important that your yard is well-lit for trick-or-treaters! Make sure you have sufficient outdoor lighting and lit pathways way to ensure safety. Outdoor lighting can also be utilized to highlight spooky elements!

Utilize your fall cleanup: You can paint your downed trimmings and branches to incorporate fun fall pops of color! Think warm orange, bright red, neutral grey, hunter green, and crisp white. You can also fill pumpkin-printed trash bags with leaves!
Scarecrow: Use elements from your very own outdoor space and clothes lying around your house to create a scarecrow!
Firepit: Make sure you have a space outside dedicated to entertaining so that you can enjoy your Halloween decor. A firepit is a perfect place to gather to watch your yard glow!
Apples: Pick apples around town or from a local Louisville apple picking farm to add pops of red around your yard with baskets full of crisp apples. You can add a spooky and witchy element by adding a “poison apples” sign to the baskets!
