A SPARKLING PERFORMANCE

Don’t forget that not everything needs to be colourful in order to sparkle this month. Shards of glinting frost on seedheads and the fading stems of grasses can be just as life affirming. chey are also excellent for foraging birds and hibernating beetles, so don’t let your garden be too tidy!
