Autumn Tints

Now belonging to the National Trust, Winkworth Arboretum was originally planned and planted as a garden which would come into its own in the Autumn. I hope its original owner, Dr Fox, would have been pleased with the results of his vision which he would have known he would never live to see.










The palette was enhanced even more by all the berries. These are the pink and white variants of the Mountain Ash which I've never encountered before.



Taken together it made for a stunning vista, as my friend E and I explored the grounds.

      Thank you. This was stunning but nothing surpasses the Fall in New England.
