Hello and thanks for stopping by!
My name is Christy Fluri, and I am the creative force behind Welcome Home Pumpkins!
I LOVE fall. I love the vibrant reds and yellows glowing against a gray sky, the scent of apples and cider on a crisp breeze, and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot. It is truly a magical time of year with so many opportunities to create memories and lifelong traditions. From the pumpkin patch to apple picking, to corn mazes and hayrides, it is hard to choose just one!
As a mother of three, I believe one of the greatest gifts you can give your children are memories and traditions they'll remember for the rest of their lives. A favorite tradition of mine is decorating my front porch and patio with all the different colors and textures of fall. What started off as a few porch pumpkins and tabletop decorations in 2009 turned into elaborate arrangements and whimsical designs that spilled from my porch and patio and trickled into the garden.
​
As a lifelong member of Longwood Gardens and a landscape enthusiast, I gleaned inspiration from the simple yet impactful displays. Drawing on my extensive experience with our family landscape design business, I am well versed in emphasizing curb appeal.
One day last fall, I'd been admiring a stunning display of pumpkins and gourds, when a woman I'd been chatting with mentioned how she would love to replicate something similar on her front porch. What held her back, she said, was not knowing how to choose the right combination of orange, white, and green pumpkins, or bumpy or smooth and speckled gourds let alone how to fit that all into the back of her SUV.
That conversation sparked the thought. How can I help others create their own autumnal display to enjoy from the comfort of their own homes?
Armed with the idea and with over a decade of experience decorating my own porch, I set out to create Welcome Home Pumpkins.
​
Welcome Home Pumpkins is a farm to porch delivery service that brings the pumpkin patch to your door, without you ever having to lift a finger. I personally, will select and deliver an assortment of fresh locally sourced pumpkins and gourds of all shapes, sizes, and colors, and arrange them on your front porch or entryway in a one-of-a-kind display, made specifically for you!
Combining my passion for landscaping and love of design, my mission is to bring a touch of autumn charm and wonder to the porches of Phoenixville and the surrounding areas.
Check out the collections and gallery page, where you will find collections that are thoughtfully curated to enhance a variety of entryways. If you are unsure of which package would work best for your porch or entryway, feel free to contact me. I'd love to help you decide what is best for your space and what you're trying to achieve!
