Today marks the beginning of November and a step closer to shorter days and less hours in the garden.

The winds of change change are definitely upon us - leaves are falling and flowers fading - preparing for a winter of discontent perhaps?

Planting seeds for a new future is what we all need to do in these uncertain times. I hope these pictures will inspire you to prepare for the important and long-overdue political, social, economic and environmental changes that are emerging in our global society.
