Letters from the garden
 
Dear Readers,
 
Brrr!! Lovely sunny days with a fresh start, it’s Autumn and the colours are stunning, and the leaf blower is on full time at the moment.

In some gardens there is confusion, bulbs are popping up too early and other perennials flowering again, not that I am complaining it’s nice to see a last or first flourish at this time of year.

It will all too soon be bare and naked, that’s when you notice what can be moved, removed and also what colour you need in winter from coloured stems to foliage and winter flowering plants, scents especially by the front or back door’s. 

Berries help one of my favourites is Callicarpa, the iridescent purple of them are transfixing and of course you can’t beat Pyracantha berries or pome, the orange ones stand out especially. It’s the best colour for winter and there are a number of plants, which can perform, Cornus Mid winter fire, Orange berries of course a number of other plants, Pansies, Erysimum and Witch Hazel top of my list for scent as well.

Don’t for get the colour this winter and make sure you have your bulbs in ready, if you need any help in the garden digging borders or planting etc. please do not hesitate to contact us.
