As in any garden, every season has its special flavour at the Historic Gardens. And as in any garden, Mother Nature often provides a challenge in predicting bloom periods for the various seasonal highlights.

Our Bloom Report is offered weekly via direct email, offering a selection of current photos, information about our current state of bloom, and upcoming events. If you wish to receive the Bloom Report in your Inbox, please sign up! If you wish to see Bloom Reports for other times of year, please visit our Photo Album where we have archived past Bloom Reports.

It's hard to believe, but the end of the season is almost upon us, our last day being October 15. And with that, the last regular Bloom Report of the season. That being said, historically a renegade Bloom Report will appear just after a really picturesque winter day in the Gardens!

October 9 in the Gardens: The Gardens look very good, with lots still in bloom plus the colour of leaves, berries and bark adding some punch! The Victorian, Knot and Governor's Gardens look great, with the Virginia Creeper covering the barn in the background. The Lower Pond area makes a nice fall picture, with even the pinks and purples of the long-finished hydrangea adding to the colour palette. The Grass Collection is a highlight at this time of year with many of the grasses sporting their feathered tassels, blowing in the breeze. The Innovative Garden, with all its produce, is always a fall highlight and this year is no exception.

* Funky Feature of the Week: The Spindle Tree berries are just about the funkiest feature we have all season! With the orange seeds bursting from their red enclosures... it is quite a sight. Berries and seed pods of all sorts are always a great fall feature in the Gardens!
