When designing a garden it is important to consider all seasons, not just spring and summer.

For example Autumn is a time of change in the garden when all of the lush and colourful planting from summer starts to die back and flowers start to fade. However this season can also bring with it its own colour palette by selecting plants for colour and interest in autumn.
