However you feel about the season change, there’s no denying that autumn leaves are magnificent when they change. The process is triggered by the change in temperature between day and night. As the days shorten, the tree enters a hibernation mode. Leaves which were required to break down light into sugar to help grown are now obsolete. The leaves therefore break down their own chlorophyll then wither off, resulting in the spectacular displays we associate with the time of year.
If you love autumn colour, then extend it a little more by bringing these leaf-themed home accessories into your home.
