Autumn is ‘the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ yet we hear that October saw the greatest rainfall in one day since records began. What impact will increased weather variability have on our gardens and green spaces? Here, we show images, many with glorious colour, from September 2020 onwards sent in by CGT members and friends. Click on any image to see it enlarged and step through the gallery. Images from other seasons may be found on sub-menus below the homepage.
If you have a photo that you would like to share, please send it as an email attachment to the Editor, Phil Christie, via the link admin@cambridgeshiregardenstrust.org.uk Please add a short caption to each image, with information including the date, where the photo was taken, the name of the plant, tree, bird etc. You can add your name or remain anonymous, as you prefer.
