Colorful autumn

Autumn is a wonderful season to enjoy in the garden. Colorful maples and autumn-blooming perennials extend the season by several months. Autumn leaves are not only beautiful, they are also a gold mine in a sustainable garden - mum for all plants. Here in the north, we should use fire more in our gardens - it is magical and warms a crisp autumn day. Many invest in a swimming pool today, but consider a heated spa bath as a way to extend the season - extra lovely to crawl into when the cold and dusk creep closer. In the autumn garden, lighting is also important and makes the days feel longer.
