The Transition to Autumn

Many plants, especially trees, are still under water-stress and despite the soaking they had at the end of August, may continue to struggle.  Despite this, many flowering plants and grasses reach their peak in September so please take time to relax and enjoy your garden.  Perhaps with a nice cup of tea and a copy of the new Worplesdon Garden Club September Newsletter
