This Month in the Garden: The Beauty of Autumn

Welcome!
Welcome to This Month in the Garden! The words of Albert Camus ~"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower", repeats through ones mind this time of year as the landscape transitions into an array of changing color. Today's post is not about a feature plant, garden chores that need to be completed or a botanical garden visited, but simply the works of nature to be appreciated. Sometimes one needs to step back from the stresses of everyday life and simply "stop and smell the roses." I hope you enjoy the views!

IN THE NEWS: I have recently been quoted in two online garden publications, Homes & Gardens where we discuss annuals for shade and Parade Home & Garden , an article that warns about possible poisonous plants in your garden, plus I had fun speaking to the Paumanacke Garden Club here on Long Island as I presented Gardening Through the Seasons. It is always fun chatting and teaching others about gardening! Speaking of chatting and teaching about gardening, check out My Author Page & Books!

Lee, I love your garden in the fall. Especially the photos of the Coral Maple and the Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar. I remember these plants in your photos in the summer. They look great now. The Weeping Japanese Maple "Viridis" is so colorful in this fall!
