Early Autumn in the Tiny Urban Garden

Autumn is a magical season. Even though we're heading towards the end of the year, it can feel like a beginning of sorts. I think it's that back-to-school feeling; the lazy days of summer are now a memory and there is a freshness in the air that awakens the senses.

After a cold start this morning, the day turned bright and warm and I took the opportunity to give my lawn what may be the last cut of the year. My garden is still full of interest and colour and the ivy which has been green for months is now turning beautiful shades of copper and burnished orange while my Viburnum is blossoming with an array of these delicate little treasures:-

And the Sedum is a vibrant shock of  bubblegum pink:-

I am full of ideas for artwork and feel an urgency to get things done before the winter months set in and the urge to hibernate descends. In my next post I will be talking about the work I completed over Summer and hopefully my next piece will be progressing well.
