I walked into the office this morning, put down my bag, grabbed a camera and almost ran back into the garden. The light was coming from behind the house and into the magnificent oak and tulip-poplar trees north of the conservatory and I wanted to capture the moment.
The Winterthur Garden is at its fall peak right now. Come soon to enjoy a crisp day in the garden before the dreary days of November are upon us. Beautiful leaves, colorful berries, late blossoms and interesting bark await you.
Here’s a map of where the best fall leaf color is right now: http://www.weather.com/maps/activity/fallfoliage/index_large.html
While you’re considering fall color, come next Wednesday when Ted Lewis, a specialist garden guide and master gardener will lead a walk at 11:30 and explain the science behind this beautiful time of year. What factors cause the leaves to change color? Meet at the greenhouses and Ted will let you in on the magic of fall color.
What is your favorite time of year in the garden? I’m torn between late April and the end of October. No need to choose! The Winterthur Garden is here all year for us to enjoy.
