Plan Your Pumpkin Porch Early: 5 Summer Steps for Stunning Fall Decor in Victoria, BC

July might not scream "pumpkin season," but if you're dreaming of a stunning fall porch that stops neighbours in their tracks, now’s the time to plan. Early prep means less stress, more choice, and a display that’s fully hands-off and fully beautiful.

1. Imagine Your Dream Fall Porch: Start Today

There’s no better time to gather inspiration than during those golden summer evenings. Scroll Pinterest, peek at porches in your neighbourhood, and build a vision board that captures your fall vibe. Picture plush textures, soft autumn tones—deep oranges, creamy whites, mossy greens—and a blend of shapes that add visual interest.

Are you going for simple and charming? Bold and abundant? Editorial elegance? This is your moment to dream it up while things are calm and the calendar’s wide open.

2. Pick One of Our Four Signature Packages: No Guesswork Required

We’ve curated four pumpkin porch packages for every kind of home and every kind of fall mood. All of them are built with locally grown pumpkins, carefully selected for size, colour, and wow-factor.

The Sense and Sensibility
Perfect for smaller porches or those who love a more minimalist touch. This drop-off-only package gives you everything you need to style your entry with elegance. Add on professional styling if you’d like our team to set it up for you.

The Grand Budapest
Designed for medium to large porches, this one delivers classic fall abundance—without being over the top. Includes full styling by our team.

The Babylon
This one goes big. It’s perfect for wide or multi-step porches, and includes heirloom varieties and height elements for drama and depth.

The Full Gatsby
If you want the neighbours talking (and maybe snapping photos), this is it. Sweeping scale, rich colours, and total wow-factor. Think of it as the Versailles of fall porch design—installation included.

Each package has its own balance of pumpkins, specialty varieties, and hay bales. All you have to do is pick the look you love. No measuring, no hauling—just click and reserve.

3. Book in July: Lock In Local, Seasonal Favorites

Our pumpkins are sourced from local Vancouver Island farms, and supply is limited. Booking early means:

• You’re guaranteed the best of the season’s harvest
• You secure your preferred package before they sell out
• You avoid the September scramble when everyone else remembers fall is coming

We open for bookings in July, and each year our packages sell out fast. If you’ve got a specific look in mind, or just don’t want to miss out, now’s the time to reserve your spot.

4. Prep Your Porch: Here’s What We Need

Pumpkins are heavy. Really heavy. For our team to deliver and style your porch safely and efficiently, we need your help in a few simple ways:

• Clear the space. Remove any personal items—furniture, plants, or decor—that might be in the way.
• Give us access. If there’s a gate or code we need, make sure it’s shared with us in advance.
• Let us get close. We’ll need to park as close to your porch as possible. No hauling pumpkins down the block, please!

A little porch prep on your end goes a long way in helping us deliver your display safely and smoothly.

5. Your Styling Slot: Timed Just Right for Fall

Your pumpkins will arrive between the last week of September and the first week of October—right on time for Canadian Thanksgiving. We plan our routes based on efficiency and neighbourhood clusters, and you’ll receive an email confirming your delivery date in advance.

Once it’s in the calendar, you can relax knowing your porch will be ready, glowing, and looking its best before the leaves start to fall.

Why Summer Planning Pays Off

• More choice. You get first pick of packages, pumpkins, and optional add-ons like pickup service.
• Less stress. No last-minute scrambling in the rain.
• More fall to enjoy. When your porch is styled early, you get to soak in the season longer.
• Support local. Everything we use—from heirloom pumpkins to hay bales—is sourced from local farms.

When you plan in summer, you’re not just reserving pumpkins—you’re buying peace of mind and a porch that’ll stop passersby in their tracks.
