Oakwell Hall has done this very well. I think this garden proves how structure works in a garden, I don't think it matters that there isn't much colour at this time of year as there's plenty of other interest. I did know about teasels being used for carding wool, not really surprising as you can see it has similar features to a carder.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-41258387598775341792014-10-27T09:17:58.190+00:002014-10-27T09:17:58.190+00:00I think the charm of the autumn garden is all the ...I think the charm of the autumn garden is all the berries and seed heads which you come across.

Without the label the Isaac Newton tree would be just another apple tree! Isn't it nice to see a garden that has lots of Winter interest and doesn't rely too much on the colour that Annuals supply? You have some fab photos in this post, Jo. I especially like the one of the Teazel.
