Autumn is one of the best times of year to get into the garden, and you don't need to be a complete green thumb to enjoy it. 🍂

The cooler temperatures make being outside a pleasure again, and this season is perfect for planting leafy vegetables like spinach, lettuce and broccoli, refreshing your pots, and getting garden beds ready for winter.

Gardening is also a wonderful way to stay active, get fresh air, and enjoy a sense of achievement, whatever your age or ability.

We've put together a simple seasonal guide full of easy ideas for seniors and anyone who loves spending time outdoors: justbettercare.com/news-events/autumn-gardening-tips-australia
