A Season of Opportunity

Autumn is a season of profound opportunity and transformation in the garden. It's a time when the possibilities are endless, and the potential for your outdoor spaces is at its peak. As the days grow shorter and the leaves begin to turn, this is the moment to reflect on your garden through the recent spring and summer- take a moment to consider what has worked well and what you might want to improve.

A season of change

Whether you've been in your garden for years, it has been affected by a recent extension project or it has come with a new home, autumn offers a unique window to assess the past few months. This season allows you to make informed decisions that will shape a garden brimming with glorious seasonal beauty and wonder for the year ahead. However, autumn doesn't just serve as a canvas for future plans; it holds its own unique allure.

Autumn sees the seasonal changes reach a crescendo of colour and texture. From autumn leaf colour to the iridescent seed heads of a well-placed grass in the autumn light.

Amidst the crisp air and the riot of colours, autumn gives rise to tapestries of seedheads, contrasting textures, fiery hues, and bountiful berries. It's a time when wildlife ventures into your garden to take advantage of the bounty, adding to your garden’s interest. Moreover, the blooms of late-season treasures such as Asters, Heleniums, and Anemones continue to grace your garden its pollinators with their presence.

One of autumn's most enviable and awaited features is the warm, low, gentle sunlight that bathes your garden in a soft, golden glow. When strategically positioned, your grass seedheads and textured flowers heads can capture this low light, celebrating your garden in this seasonal spectacle.

As the days grow shorter and the sun's intensity wanes, your plants enter a period of rest. They are no longer under the intense pressure to bloom and thrive that summer demands. Instead, they're settling in for the upcoming winter, with their roots quietly establishing themselves in the soil, preparing for the seasons ahead.
