Autumn marks one of the most significant seasonal transitions in bonsai, as the trees pull all their resources down into their roots and deciduous bonsai put on a colorful display. It is a fleeting moment to behold and enjoy. Come celebrate autumn and the changing of the seasons at Fall Foliage Day on Saturday, October 26. Come in your Halloween costume to participate in Trunk or Treat.
Fall Foliage Day is an event we hold annually in conjunction with the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden’s Fall Foliage Festival.
