Even in autumn, a riot of colour

Hello again
Graham has done a sterling job in selecting robust flowers (bulbs, annuals, perennials) that even after a wet and chilly periods looks stunning on a grey autumn afternoon.
Would anyone like to sponsor a bench, or a fruit tree, or some more planting? Donations are always welcome!

Interesting shapes, textures and colours as we look towards the retaining wall at the top of the "top end".


A striking feature is the circular motif of lovely cobblestones.

Just magic! A riot of colours: yellow and orange calendula, blue cornflowers, pink rocks and gravel, green foliage.
