A Monthly Wander Around the Garden and Nursery at Oakgate – November

Early in the month we made our monthly visit to the gardens at Oakgate Nursery and Garden.

As usual we had coffee as we arrived and then began our usual route-way around the garden starting from the outdoor seating area then taking the metal bridge over the fish pond, stopping halfway over to admire the fish.

Once over the bridge we spotted some flowering shrubs and some beautiful fungi on the wooden bases of sculptures.

Nearby were two Callicarpa, one with the usual purple berries the other carrying white ones.

I love the look of autumn’s carpets leaves covering the ground and falling on plants adding colours to the borders.

So many shrubs and small trees in the garden are looking at their best with their autumn coats on.

I will finish off with a gallery of colour.

It has been almost a whole year since we started visiting at least once each month to take photos and create a post to share.

A retired primary school head teacher, I now spend much of my time gardening in our quarter acre plot in rural Shropshire south of Shrewsbury. I share my garden with Jude my wife a newly retired teacher , eight assorted chickens and a plethora of wildlife. Jude does all the heavy work as I have a damaged spine and right leg. We also garden on an allotment nearby. We are interested in all things related to gardens, green issues and wildlife.
