Falling for Autumn…planting with an extended season in mind. Autumn is the time of year when every leaf becomes a flower. When many gardeners are hanging up their shovels and secateurs for the season reflecting on the season’s past and dreaming about the garden to come, there are still weeks, and in some cases months, of incredibly beautiful gardening to experience. Put on your sweater and fall in love with plants, foliage, and even some flowers, before the snow flies.
