Brookside Gardens at end of September – part I
/The growing season is waning, but there is still plenty to see at Brookside Gardens when we went last weekend. Some plants have already produced their seeds – the sumac and sunflowers and castor beans among them.
The magnolia pods are as colorful as the seeds. Some of the seeds have already been eaten by birds or squirrels.
But there are still flowers to see too. I spent time photographing asters with tiny water droplets still coating them from the morning dew.
But there are other things still blooming as well.
There were some lights that were turned on covering the trunks and lower branches of trees around one of the court yards – evidence that the crew putting up lights for the holiday light show has already started.
