Autumn Advancing Our Small Garden Tour | Beautiful Flowers, Colourful Bulb Lasagne (or Bulb Trifle) 

Welcome to our Autumn Garden Tour of fabulous flowers, celebratory bulb trifles (aka bulb lasagne), inspiration from the cloud pruning technique of Niwaki, and a somewhat stormy season of change, hope, and renewal. Besides the beautiful plants, which include Hesperantha coccinea ‘Pink Princess’, Hesperantha coccinea ‘Major’, Convolvulus cneorum, Mahonia ‘Soft Caress’, Wax Begonia (Begonia Semperflorens) and Spring to Autumn blooming Orange Welsh Poppies (Meconopsis cambrica var. aurantiaca) there are handsome Red Admiral Butterflies, dear little Hummingbird Hawk-Moths, and beautiful Bumblebees taking centre stage in the garden right now. We hope the flowering plants and feasting pollinators bring you much pleasure on this tour around all things lovely and uplifting in October and early November, in our 10m x 10m garden in Kent, South East England. We hope to welcome you here again soon!
