The Garden will be at the glory of its fall color not only for trees chosen for their dazzling fall foliage, but also for the colorful camellia blossoms, last roses, Angel Trumpets, Salvia, along with the abundance of plants covered in colorful berries, orange and red, including evergreen and deciduous hollies, Hawthorne, the rare Witches Broom, crabapples, and a few unusual late fall blooming plants including the Fatsia with white umbels, and the golden flowered Ligularia. The garden’s mushroom farm display may also be producing shiitake mushrooms in the mushroom garden, interesting to see and learn how to do.
