For the past several years, I've had an idea for another seasonal service through Simplify Planters… and I think this might be the year to give it a try! ❤️🍂🎃

I recently connected with a local pumpkin grower, and I'm excited to explore offering Custom Pumpkin Porch Displays here in the Okoboji area!

Think beautiful, welcoming fall porches filled with a mix of pumpkins, gourds, and seasonal touches all designed to fit your home and your style. 💖

And the best part? You wouldn't have to do the work! 😉

Pumpkin Porch Display Service would include:
✨ Custom design
✨ Pumpkins & seasonal decor
✨ Delivery & installation
✨ A beautiful, finished porch display
✨ Cleanup when the season is over

I'd like to offer different package options ranging from approximately $150–$500, depending on the size and scope of the display.

My goal would be to begin pumpkin porch installations within the next 1–3 weeks, so if you think you might want one, now is the time to reach out!

If this sounds like something you'd LOVE to have done at your home, lake house, business or rental property this fall, I'd love to hear from you! 🥰

COMMENT below or send me a message if interested and please SHARE with others who may like this service.

So excited about the possibility of adding a little Simplify Planters Fall Magic to the Iowa Great Lakes! 🧡🍁🙏🏻

One of my favorite and most low-maintenance planters at Picks Lakeshore Resort this summer! ❤️

This beauty features red salvia that I grew from seed and it has been a favorite not only of mine, but of the hummingbirds and butterflies too! 🐦🦋

Cheers to soaking up a warm Labor Day weekend at beautiful Okoboji! 🥂☀️🌊

Feeling extra grateful for another summer filled with flowers, sunshine, and lake life. 💖

I'm just not ready to say goodbye to Summer! 🥹☀️🌊

Soaking in every last beautiful day at the lake and feeling extra grateful for moments like this. One of my favorite parts of what I do is watching a planter transform and come alive throughout the season. 💕

I completed this planter makeover at the end of July, and WOW… it has really taken off! The Rockin'® Fuchsia Salvia from Proven Winners is absolutely loving the lake life and showing off with the most gorgeous blooms. 💗

And that view!! 😍🌊 There's just something about flowers, sunshine, water and a peaceful summer day that makes my heart so happy.

Summer, you've been good to me. I'm not quite ready to let you go, so I'll be over here soaking in these final days and enjoying every bloom I can. 🌸☀️💖

🌞 Soaking in these final days of August at the lake. 💙 Love this peaceful time to slow down and take in all the beauty around us.

These Proven Winners Little Lime Punch® hydrangeas I planted a few years ago at Picks Lakeshore Resort are putting on their beautiful end-of-summer show, 🥰 and definitely making me stop and admire them.

Try to soak in every last bit of summer magic before the season changes. 🚤⛵️💖

I love the trio of plants I tried in this whimsical pedestal planter at Picks Lakeshore Resort this season! 💛🥰

The black-eyed susan vine and petunias I grew from seed paired beautifully with a cheerful yellow purslane plant. Together, they create the perfect mix of color, texture, and happy summer vibes! ✨

One of my favorite parts of planter design is finding those unexpected combinations that just work. 🙌🏻💖

One of my favorite parts of what I do is turning beautiful plants into something that brings a space to life. 🌿💚

I love getting creative with each planter, watching the plants grow and change throughout the season, and especially getting to care for these beautiful planters at Picks Lakeshore Resort on beautiful West Lake Okoboji.⛵️🚤

Soaking in these final days of summer and feeling extra grateful that I get to do what I love. ☀️🙏🏻💖

There's something so special about getting to share my passion for flowers and planter design. 🌸🌿 What started with watching my parents work in the greenhouse has grown into a dream of my own through Simplify Planters.

For the longest time, I struggled with figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up. After high school, I tried 4 different majors at 4 different schools 😬, always searching for that thing that felt like it was truly meant for me.

Looking back now, I think I was searching for something that had been right in front of me all along. ❤️ I was born to work with plants. 🌱

I'm incredibly grateful I grew up in a wholesale greenhouse business. My parents taught me so much more than how to grow plants. They taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, serving others and having a strong work ethic. They even had the amazing opportunity to be the exclusive grower for all of the Kmart stores in South Dakota, as well as the Kmart stores in Sioux City and Spencer, Iowa.

Watching them chase their dreams, take leaps of faith and build a business from the ground up inspired me in ways I didn't fully realize until later. They gave me an entrepreneurial heart and showed me that sometimes you just have to take that next step, even when you can't see the whole path ahead.

And now, through Simplify Planters, I get to combine so many of the things I've learned and loved throughout my life. It truly feels like everything has come full circle. 🌿✨

One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 58:11:
"The Lord will guide you always…"

I truly believe that where God guides, He provides.

And I'm so thankful for my parents who first planted that love of plants in me. ❤️

Sometimes the best planters are the ones you never planned! 🥰

One of my own planters this summer came together using extra plants I had purchased for customers along with a few I grew from seed.

Mystic Spires Salvia + Yellow Canna turned out to be the perfect thriller duo! 💜💛 And Yellow Zebra potato vine is a new favorite spiller. Their colors and textures blend together so beautifully. I just love this fun, unexpected combination. ✨

🌴🌺 First impressions start at the front door.

Welcome your family and guests to your home with a planter that feels like a tropical getaway. Lush foliage, vibrant blooms, and cascading accents create an inviting entrance that sets the tone before anyone steps inside.

This custom design for one of my customer's lake homes using Proven Winners Toucan® Coral Canna, Downtown Royalty™ Coleus, and Creeping Jenny has grown together beautifully over the summer.

I love designing planters that not only look beautiful on planting day but continue to grow into showstopping focal points all season long. 🥰

If you'd like to welcome guests with a custom planter designed just for your home, I'd love to help! Reach out to get added to my Fall custom planter schedule.

Small planter... BIG impact! 🦋💜

Monarch Magic™ Ageratum proves you don't need a complicated combination to make a statement. Planted all by itself, this little planter at Picks Lakeshore Resort is bursting with vibrant color and has been an incredible performer all season long.

Sometimes, simple really is spectacular! 🌿✨
