What the gardeners are up to

• Some restoration and tweaking around the Matthews Walk and the Larcom Walk.
• Deadheading and cutting back the herbaceous borders as perennials start to go dormant for winter.
• Turning compost and generating mulch to cover freshly weeded areas.
• Continuing to cut back the forest margins to encourage even light and airflow through the garden collections.
