No new photographs today, just a little trip down memory lane to revisit a few special spots and the plants that make them so. A beautiful Acer palmatum cv. Sango Kaku in all its autumnal glory in the Japanese Maple collection; a majestic Green Giant Arborvitae, one of two in the relaxing pool garden next to the Mansion; Asters, fall colors and fallen leaves in the perennial gardens behind the Haggerty Education Center. Autumn is such a special time of year, when Mother Nature paints a brilliant canvas for us to enjoy, although fleetingly. Emily Bronte put it beautifully: “Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree”.
Make time to visit the Arboretum soon, you won’t regret it!
