Autumn seems to be a favourite season for many. Depending on where you are located, you can be surrounded with color. Here in Oakville Ontario Canada, we are blessed with many deciduous trees which love to put on a show of color. Of course we have many Oak trees, hence the name Oakville.

What is a Deciduous Tree? Deciduous trees are giant flowering plants. They include oaks, maples, and beeches, and they grow in many parts of the world. The word deciduous means to “fall off,” and every fall these trees shed their leaves. Most deciduous trees are broad-leaved, with wide, flat leaves.

Let’s not forget about deciduous vines & shrubs and my favorite flowering shrub Hydrangeas. They are always stunning and even more so in the fall with the color of the blooms changing as well as the leaves. Changing to rich rustic burgundy, pinks, purples, which make the blooms look antique.
