When I was a child, my favourite season by a long shot was autumn. I loved the sight of it, the smell of it, the sound and sense of it. Especially the trees. Giant beech, oak and flushing gold and copper. The wild gales that sent their dying leaves swirling to the ground. The ripe, sweet, fungal smell of those same fallen leaves and the messy joy of wading up to my knees in a sea of arboreal confetti.
Now, in middle age, autumn feels altogether more bitter-sweet, but I still love its fallen leaves and the important role they play in nurturing the garden and its many life forms. Thankfully, long gone are the days when gardening columns routinely advised readers to tidily rake and collect them to burn in bonfires or to bag and dispose of in the bin. Instead we’ve learned to see autumn leaves as a precious winter blanket or natural mulch for the soil that protects it from erosion and nutrient loss and suppresses weed germination, while simultaneously insulating both plants’ root systems and soil micro-organisms against winter cold. At this time of year, those same fallen leaves also offer safe harbour for many other creatures, from hibernating hedgehogs that like to cocoon themselves snugly against low temperatures while they sleep out the coldest months of the year to frogs and newts in need of cover.
The good news, of course, is that nature is nothing if not generous, and so there’s always enough left over for us gardeners to collect from flower beds, lawns, paths, patios, driveways, garden steps and even along roadside edges to make what’s known in gardening parlance as “leaf mould”.
Leaves of conifers are slow to rot down. Seek out the fallen leaves of deciduous broad leaf species such as beech, oak, horse chestnut,
