Fall Colours And Texture For Gardens In Autumn
With the excitement of spring and summer fun now behind us, we welcome the calming mood, the coolness, the sense of rest and peace that autumn delivers. There is a feeling of pending hiatus in the air. Gardens stop their summer growth and blossoms. What awaits us is a season of change and rich texture. It brings warm colours at the time the weather begins to cool down. And trees begin their display of shades in yellow, orange and red. As leaves start to die and perennials begin to recede, we note the lingering late summer colour that will last until the first frost. We welcome the new fall colours that envelop the autumn season. With this in mind, we look for the best plants for autumn gardens and fall colours to enhance the garden during this late-season landscape —a time to reflect and enjoy the last three months before gardens go dormant and rest during winter. In the gardening world, autumn (fall) usually includes September, October and November. Autumn (fall) gardens need never be dull again. Here we offer fall plant recommendations for the fall, maintenance tips and gardening jobs to be completed before winter’s arrival.
