Minds in the garden will turn to thinking of the year ahead and planning the rebirth of the garden, as we cut back this year’s growth from borders.
Berries will be attracting the sound of birdsong; especially in the wilderness and will fill the air ‘like scent’. Robin’s will follow the garden team through the garden to collect the insects unearthed as a result of clearing the borders. The orchard will be full of he smells of ripened fruit, and the building up of windfall, as birds and insects feast on the apples, purposefully left to rot. The bonfire will smoke and the compost will be brought in, completing the decay cycle and helping the team prepare for the bedding-in of the garden.
