The UK has a very temperate climate. It rarely
gets above 32C (90F) or below -5C (23F). There is usually
plenty of rain, although in recent years there seems to have
been less than usual. The snow in the photo above is
quite unusual for us. During the winter of 2005/2006, there
was no snow at all that lay on the ground in our region of
central/southern England.
In spite of the lack of really hot summers or icy cold
winters, the seasons are quite distinct.
Spring is
the prettiest, with wild flowers emerging after the winter
and the fresh green buds appearing on the trees.
Summer is
usually lush, green and pleasant, but all too short.
Autumn can be
a riot of colour with the leaves changing on the trees and
lots of colourful berries for the birds.
Winter is
cold and dark brightened on occasions with thick frosts and
clear blue skies.
It is not unusual to find families
enjoying themselves in their gardens during the seasons of
spring, summer and the early months of autumn. Garden chairs
and other types of
garden furniture such as settees and outdoor sofas are
popular for families who love spending their time outdoors in
the garden. Children can frolic and play on the lawn while the
adults relax and watch over them while reclining on their
outdoor chairs.
In our English Country Garden we have planted shrubs to
brighten up the dull periods and hopefully have something in
bloom during every month of the year. Click on the links
below to see how it changes with the seasons.
