Autumn colour in the Garden
Autumn is such a beautiful season in Central Otago with the iconic golden Poplars and the red of the rosehips on the hills. When you live in a climate like ours it makes sense to include some autumn colour in the garden, this can be in the form of foliage, flowers or berries & fruit.
