Comment on Asters Galore on Sycamore Hill by Simon Green

Asters really are the true sign autumn is here. My grandmother grew patches of pink, orange and the blue ones shown here in both tall and smaller varieties. I’d really hope I can visit Winterthur garden to see them again.

Comment on As Summer Turns to Fall by Debra Shedrick

AND – (I’ve had another thought!) – another great reason to visit Winterthur in autumn is to see how color can be sustained through frost when you plant berry-bearing plants. Winterthur now has viburnums bearing berries that range from crimson through yellow (Michael Dodge viburnum is STUNNING combined with purple beautyberry), & Sapphire berry is in full spate in Enchanted Woods. The Igiri trees have great clusters of orange berries cascading like grapes near the Pinetum. The garden is alive, but it requires visitors to use the feet God gave them to walk through it to capture the enchantment.

An absolutely wonderful comment on autumn’s encroachment on the Winterthur garden — & on my own where I see black walnut leaves dropping in droves. It was all described better here than I ever could, but it begs for each of us to enjoy the lush color of the autumn garden! At Winterthur we can walk & walk, & get ideas to enrich our own gardens — what a gift those gardens are!
