HAPPY Halloween to all this week hope ye are all enjoying this time of year.

In the garden the scary thing is how it can all change and can evolve this time of year its beauty can only been seen in autumn I love the leaves the colour changes it kind of magical to me anyway. As much I like the change I also know that if the fallen leaves are left on paths and walkway they can be dangerous so they do need to be cleared away. I believe in leaving them to mulch and letting them lie around the beds in the garden as cover for the wildlife in the autumn/winter months.
The perennial continue to need care in cleaning and they are some still flowering so continue to deadhead them. The weather is so mild still lots of growth in the plants and lawns at the moment. Roses are another beautiful shrub that can get another flush of growth this time of year and produce beautiful flowers.
The birds can do with a hand with finding food so if you have feeder you can hang them out on trees or set up a bird stand with some food they do appreciate it. You coul also set up a water bath for them to drink from. It is lovely to see the small birds coming to feeders.

We are also approaching the 1st of November which is the month of All souls where we remember our loved gone before us, traditional most graveyard would be blessed in the weekend of November. So, some like to add a fresh pot of colour to the graves or freshen up the ones that are already there.
What we recommend are heathers and berries plant like solomon and gaultheria they are a few small shrubs to choose from this time of year. For colour we have primrose , cyclamen pansy, viola and some patio rose which can help brighten up the grave side.
If you need any help with what to choose or would like to bring in a pot for us to fill that’s no problem we are happy to help.

Have a lovely week .
