October

The gardens and grounds transform during October, taking on the rich colours, deep scents and rustling sounds of Fall. Mineral, earthy tones unite the trees, borders and the valley view in a painterly style reminiscent of pointillism, which is made even more beautiful by a river of mist. A stunning range of purple, peach, claret, gold, bronze, charcoal and seaweed colours deepen every day as the temperature cools.
