SEP 2024

The beginning of autumn is the most exciting time of year for us in the garden. On the one hand, this time of year is hard to beat in terms of abundance, but on the other hand, the end of the gardening season is already looming. It is precisely this mixture of gratitude and a touch of melancholy that makes it so intense. You can feel how some plants are once again pooling all their energy to produce as many last fruits and seeds as possible, while others are quietly saying goodbye, withdrawing their energy for the next season.

But it is not only emotionally that this autumn season moves us; aesthetically, too, it holds a tingling, incomparably melancholic tension. We never tire of admiring how the warm sunlight catches between ripe vegetables, last blossoms, and heavy seed heads in the morning dew. These colors, this light, this wild beauty that everything merges into. A wonderfully colorful jumble.
