Some recent photos taken in the park by Sue Hirst.
Keep an eye on the Gingko biloba tree on the top lawn. The leaves will turn yellow which will all fall usually within a short space of time.
The fuchsia stems are all new growth this year after the hard frost last year killed the old woody stems which were removed early this year . It is good common practice to cut fuchsia plants hard back .
It is a very good year for holly berries.
The final photo is a euonymus europaeus or spindle bush. There are several tall trees next to the path round the sunken garden and others in the shrubbery behind the skateboard ramp. The red fruits split to reveal bright orange seeds.
