Autumn splendor at the TBG: an early look
An early look but a late post! I took these pictures at the beginning of the month and haven't had a chance until today to put them in one place. So without further ado....

Fall is my favourite time to visit gardens (actually, to work in them too) with lower temperature and humidity levels. Crowds are usually thinner as well so that makes my photo taking easier! I had a free day earlier this month so off to the Toronto Botanical Garden I went. I'll likely visit the TBG again later in the autumn to especially enjoy the foliage displays of the Japanese maples. But for now, please enjoy these pictures of early autumn (well, technically late summer) in Toronto.

| Perennial border in the fall at the Toronto Botanical Garden I absolutely love this perennial border in the fall, not only because it shows my favourite colour combination of yellow and purple. Notice how there's wonderful layering going on with the herbaceous peonies, Joe Pye Weed, goldenrod, barberry and (I think) Heliopsis way in the back of the bed. I'd take this over a row of "Emerald" white cedars eight days a week... |
