- Decorative elements (mini pumpkins, pinecones, burlap ribbon)

- Gardening tools (trowel, gloves)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose Your Planter: Select a wooden crate or box that fits your outdoor space. Ensure it has drainage holes or add them yourself.

2. Prepare the Soil: Fill the box with high-quality potting soil, leaving room for the plants.

3. Arrange the Plants: Place taller plants like chrysanthemums in the center and shorter varieties like pansies around the edges for a layered look.

4. Add Festive Touches: Tuck mini pumpkins, pinecones, or burlap ribbons between the plants for a Thanksgiving vibe.

5. Water and Maintain: Water the plants thoroughly and place the box in a sunny spot. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
