It is a buzz of activity in our gardens this time of year. Nature is waking up, the apple trees are blossoming, flowers are blooming, seeds are sown and vegetables are grown. The birds are nesting, the bees are busy collecting nectar and pollinating our plants. It is truly a glorious time of year where you really experience the interconnectiveness of all parts of nature.

At this time of year the trees slow down and rest, flowers tuck their heads into the soil and sleep. Bees cosy up for the winter with enough honey to keep them fed, animals prepare for hibernation and some birds head of to warmer climates. This is also harvest time when we celebrate nature’s abundance, hard work and all that she gives.
