My gardens are located on Vancouver Island. Here, winters are mild and temperatures rarely drop below zero. In other words, snowfall is limited, but the air remains cool.
The crispness of autumn brings a shift in the colours of my gardens, especially in my Japanese Garden. The reduced daylight also affects the colouring of the leaves.

I have several greenhouses that allow me to protect my most delicate plants. I’m able to control the temperature and humidity in these spaces. When the outdoor temperatures become too cool, I sometimes move a few plants inside. The arrival of autumn is a time to begin planning the next planting season while also protecting the plants from harsh weather and certain animals.
