As the days shorten and the air turns crisp, our garden begins its gentle transition into autumn. The vibrant greens fade into golden hues, and the rustle of leaves reminds us that nature is slowing down, preparing for rest. Let’s embrace the season together. #GreenSynergy #AutumnGarden #Season

An Autumn inspired first session for our Planting Hope group in Gainsborough! This week we explored embossing metal leaves, inspired by nature and the heritage trees at Gainsborough Hall. Each participant created a unique design — from intricate leaf patterns to an amazing ammonite.
