During my recent post shift walks at Attingham Park I have enjoyed seeing the first signs of Autumn. One of my favourite pathways that leads to the suspension bridge has been closed for a few weeks and I am hoping that it re-opens soon.

The gardeners of Attingham Park are cordially invited to prepare Seanhenge for winter.
I think that they might like you to join them at Attingham Park
Peeeh!

Ah yes, Autumnal harvests: butternut, leeks, and waiting for the first frosts to kill the Dahlias
Autumn is one of my favourite times of year. I am probably biased because I am an Autumn baby.
The colours fill me with joy as do the leaves falling and swirling through the trees.
Lovely autumnal photos of Attingham. You can tell it is October when pumpkins appear
Love the photo with the reflections in the river.
I was blessed with sunshine on the two walks that I took these photographs.
Diid you know that around 1 billion pounds of pumpkins are sent to landfill after Halloween, where they break down and emit methane gas?
I do hope these pumpkins fare better in Attingham!
Turn them into pies instead.
I didn’t know that. A good reason to put discarded pumpkins in the food recycling bin.
Most of the garden produce at Attingham is used in the café or sold in the shop. If these large pumpkins are not food grade I know that they will be used in an environmentally sustainable way.
I have found out what happens to these pumpkins after they are used for Autumn displays within Attingham. They are mulched down and used for compost within the walled garden.
No, those Halloween lantern pumpkins are not good for eating.
So it’s really wasteful to see people grow them then discard them after Halloween.
Precious land resources should have used wisely and everybody can reap the benefits of Mother Nature.
Ha ha… this is getting too socialist?!
The produce in the walled garden is normally used in the café or sold in the shop. I am not sure what they do with the large pumpkins but whatever they do with them it will be environmentally friendly.
