Winter at the Lane is a special time – [autumn] has meant leaves have fallen and the great structure of the trees and plants are revealed. It is really striking to see as the days get longer and colder. The [Wisteria Colonnade] is bare and the [Elm] over looking the [Secret Garden] turns to yellow and then drops its leaves over just two days. The white bark of the [birch trees] look like parchment and we wait for the under plantings of [Hellebores,] [Camellias] and daffodils to emerge. It is the time when the native plants really shine – the garden is full of color!
