Autumn is now upon us – although the weather is still nice – that may soon change. But the fact is that this year’s major projects are now nearing completion – new roofing for the Gardener’s House and Tea House, repainting of the entire Gardener’s House, completion of the extension, inauguration of the new Herb Garden and finally a visit from the Foundation for Trees and Environment. Then there will once again be time for ordinary garden activities, which can be a lot of work.
