After the warm summer months autumn brings an abundance of delicious
garden goodies! While the days are still long there is plenty of time to plant
for the cooler months, treat your lawn, and enjoy homegrown harvests
with family and friends. It’s been a hot summer in many regions, so we’ve
included plenty of tips to get your garden refreshed and replenished
for the new season. Here’s to a successful autumn in the garden, with
lots of  delicious homegrown harvests, from the Tui Team.
This issue we are excited to have two
contributors provide inspiration and advice
for your lawn and garden…

dream anymore; our survey results show

sized sections, so on page 5 Victoria Sweeney
(@victoriamakes) shares some great ideas to
help you make the most of your urban space.
