FfFfFfFF 58,118 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 A spectacular and prolonged autumn display of colour is predicted for the UK’s parks and gardens thanks to good sunny spells in the spring and September and some nurturing dampness in the summer. The golds, reds, purples, russets and oranges that provide a burst of joy before the winter months are likely to be particularly vivid this year, the National Trust said. One of the most spectacular displays may be at Stourhead in Wiltshire, where exotic species such as tulip and katsura trees stand alongside natives such as oak, beech and birch. Tom Hill, who looks after sites at Winkworth Arboretum in Surrey and Petworth Park in West Sussex, said: “We’re starting to see some of the maple trees start to turn – from greens to reds and oranges. Toomer said it was important for people to get out into nature, especially at this difficult time.

Bolkins 4,149 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The garden at Stourhead is easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I used to go there a lot with my grandmother when I was kid. Not the bore worms! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahb 17,188 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Trees having autumn colours is such a foreign concept to me I'm used to just...green eucalyptus trees everywhere.
