Autumn has arrived on the shores of the UK - a slight freshness to the mornings and a waning of the light signal that subtle change to the season. In the garden the peak colour and growth is starting to give way to the texture and autumnal colours that signal the slow, but beautiful descent, into a period of more dormant reflection. Autumn can be one of the most beautiful times of year and also a celebration of what has gone before, the present harvest of abundance but also the future excitement of gardening plans and work.

A key trait of any successful gardener is the humility to confess that there is still so much to learn. With decades of horticultural experience under their belts, Saul and Lucy still get a real buzz from sharing their observations about what this gardening year has taught them. Lucy tells Saul what this spring's storms revealed to her, and Saul shares his insight into the Devonshire plants that, surprisingly, toughed out the summer drought.
