AUTUMN IN THE GARDEN

There is plenty to look out for in the garden in the autumn and winter, lots of trees etc have berries and fruit which attract the birds in the colder months Sorbus, Malus, Crataegus all have various colours from reds to yellow and oranges.
There is also autumn colour from Prunus, Acers and Oaks and plenty more too, and when the trees are bare of leaves there are trees with attractive bark, Betula varieties, Acer Griseum, Prunus Serrula which all have attractive stems with pealing bark to keep the interest in the dull dark winter days.
St Bridgets grow all these trees and have them in the nursery tree fields for lifting from November onwards.
