A month to say goodbye to the old year and prepare for the new one!

Lawns - Need detailed advice on creating a new lawn or maintaining/renovating an existing one? Then Google the ‘Lawn Association’ a recently formed organisation for the benefit of both professional and home garden people.

November brings thoughts of the coming winter, with brisk country walks, enjoying the last of the autumn colours and relaxing evenings in front of a warm, cosy fire!

Clear up and tidy! A bit of thought and action now will prevent trouble next year.

Autumn is with us and lets hope for good weather, to raise our spirits, shorten the winter and give us time to attend to all those essential garden chores.

In the herbaceous border you can take and root cuttings from perennials such as fuchsias, pelargoniums and Salvias.

September, a time of ‘mists and mellow fruitfulness!’
