Autumn colour glories

Autumn really is in full swing now – as seen above as my Client’s beech hedge glows golden yellow in the sunshine yesterday.

Lace-cap hydrangeas give wonderful shows at the moment as well…

And Hawthorn berries are spectacularly red

A newly planted section of a shady north-facing bed at another Client’s garden features the wonderfully names Brunnera macrophylla ‘Looking Glass’ which has a wonderfully icy wintery feel about it…

Meanwhile the new bed at another Client’s garden is complete, following the line of stepping stones at last.

And the box spheres at another Client’s garden are looking ready for a dusting of frost, after a huge cut back in June.  Roll on winter then…

Happy November gardening!

A tidy 1st November

My client’s garden today after a good autumn tidy…rather wonderful box caterpillar on the right…

And four bags of debris and composting to show for it…note the super mature olive tree on the left thriving in mediterranean Cambridge!

And I love this stained glass tower…

Happy November gardening!
