Autumn 2012

Absolutely fabulous, like a rainbow coloured fairyland, was expecting to see bambi and all her wee friends having a chin wag in every bend or glade. Imagine working in a place like this, wouldn't want to go home. The peace and tranquillity say it all. I love it every year.

As one who is a tad bonkers on trees, Westonbirt has a fine selection and very pleasantly laid out. The shelter created by the trees offers a marvellous opportunity for everything to grow in what seems a more columnar fashion.
The Autumn colour of the various Acer palmatum cultivars is awesome, and intriguing to see the variations of colour on the same varieties-Spp Amoenum, Matsumarae and the dissect-leaved types.
