Autumn Colour

Nature's Natural Planting Season
Autumn arrives, bringing a welcome respite from the harsh heat and preparing the gardens for our favourite planting season of the year.  We encourage you to make the most of the upcoming growing season.  Autumn weather provides the best of both worlds - warm soils to encourage active growth, paired with cooler air reducing water consumption and lowering pest activity.  This gives your plants three full seasons to establish a good root system before summer rolls around again. Amongst being the best planting season, it also one to be thoroughly enjoyed.  Autumnal leaf displays are absolutely striking. 🍁🍂  Don't miss out on spectacular seasonal colour. Red Oaks, Ginkgos, Maples, & Liquidambar are our favourite garden plants for vibrant reds, oranges, golds, and sometimes even purple colourings. A new month means new garden jobs! If you're not sure where to start, I'd like to introduce you to our monthly garden guides for advice on what needs done. Click the button below for a quick read!
