Bring the outdoors in

We are now in the last month of autumn and there is plenty to keep busy in the garden. In the fruit garden, the harvest period is coming to a close for pip and stone fruit and is just beginning for feijoas. It's also the last chance to get your bulbs in the flower garden before winter, and a great time to plant new winter veges in the vege patch!

The ever-popular Chain of Hearts gets its name from the heart shaped leaves that grow a few centimeters apart from each other along cascading stems. They are best displayed in a hanging pot or on a high shelf to show off the beautiful long vines.

Hydrangeas are a hardy flower favourite that add colour, texture and vibrancy to the garden.  The flowers are perfect for picking and drying and are widely used in bouquets or own their own in a vase. As hydrangea flowers age the colour fades to reveal wonderful antique shades of lime, rose and copper which make a beautiful feature in vases.
