October is a month full of warm colours, changeable weather and autumn is in full swing.Another busy month in the gardening calendar full of preparations for the next year. A time to dig over beds, refresh tired lawns and finish planting bulbs ready for spring and summer blooms. Exterior timber will also benefit from being fully waterproofed and protected for the coming cold, wet season.

It is also the month of Halloween where we get to return to our childhood by escorting children in scary fancy dress costumes trick or treating around the neighbourhood. This month’s colours are taken from the Royal range and inspired by the glow of pumpkins and colours of a witch riding through the sky on a broomstick with her trusty cat clinging on.
