The garden has transformed in colour as we now embrace Autumn and the evenings definitely have a chill in the air. It's a month to lend some consideration to the wildlife outside that are preparing for the winter ahead. If possible, build a log pile and pop leaves & twigs in corners for them to gather and shelter ready for hibernation.

For your flowers: 

It's time to consider planting hardy annuals for next Summer; collect ripe seeds from your favorite flowers ready to plant in Spring (keep in a labelled envelope) and keep your Summer bedding deheaded & fed well to help them all thrive untill the first frost. Spring bulbs such as Daffodils, Crocuses and Hyacinths can be planted in borders and pots. 

For the garden:

With the ever changing weather, best pop netting across ponds to prevent Autumn leaves from falling in and double check trees and plant supports are all firmly in place. Spend some time tidying up overgrown trees and shaping conifers- anything spare can be made into the most beautiful Autumn wreath!
