Calendulas bring colourful notes to vegetable garden plots. They are very hardy. These plants are blooming at the end of November. Helen Chesnut
Another beautiful late autumn garden flower is Nerine, a South African plant that grows from a bulb and thrives in warm, sunny, well-drained sites. Helen Chesnut

It’s become nearly impossible to pass by a local garden centre that I know is filled with a tantalizing selection of house plants without going in for at least a quick inspection of the leafy enticements. My window ledges are quickly filing up.
