Autumn Peak
Chasing the leaves of Autumn
Follow the falling leaves as they chase the enticing colours of autumn as the gardens reach their peak during November.
Head down the valley towards our lakes to see amelanchiers, swamp cypress and many more reflecting their shades of red, orange and yellow in the shimmering water.
Garden News
As the golden hues of Autumn continue to dazzle us all throughout the garden, it won’t be long before Jack Frost makes his icy presence felt. Weather dependant, some of the trees I would recommend seeking out in the garden this month while you still can include the Carrya cordiformis down by Waterfall Pond with its mesmerising bright, bright yellow foliage, the Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) on the Mansion Lawn
For the garden team it’s also important that we make the most of any mild, moist weather while we can. As well as taking time to enjoy the amazing Autumnal firework display of leaves, berries and stems, there’s much work to be done in the garden.
