There is something about Autumn which makes the heart sing. The food and flowers – copious quantities of tomatoes and dahlias - and the promise of spring.

It’s the perfect time to plot and plan our bulb lasagnes, and find the new perennials, roses, shrubs, and trees we want to try.

Tulips are of course spring’s crowning glory, and in these pages are some of the absolute best.

Have fun being creative.
