Awesome Autumn

Published 02/09/2023

As we head into autumn, there is much to enjoy in your garden. Beautiful misty mornings and an ever-changing pallet of leaf colours. With the cooler weather it is tempting to pack away all your gardening tools, snuggle down and hibernate until spring.

Can we encourage you to garden a little longer? September is the perfect time to plan improvements you can make to your garden for next year. It is the ideal time to plant bulbs to give some vibrant colours to look forward to after the winter. The soil is still warm and perfect for planting trees there are ones to suit every garden size.

If you can’t be tempted out, you could always plant some prepared Hyacinth bulbs for you know when!
