Autumn In The Arboretum

A few photos of the arboretum and the surrounding area, captured on a beautiful sunny day by Cath Mant from Friends of Hampshire Farm Meadows. 

You can really see the nice colours that are appearing on a few of the young trees, and the cones on the Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) that Tim Peake planted. There is a branch of hawthorn with lots of berries on, and an acorn in the sun which were captured round the edge of the arboretum.

You can also view the full resolution photos as a slideshow in the photo gallery.
