September through November
Fall color abounds as our deciduous leaves transform into glowing golds, reds, and oranges. The woodland setting provides a backdrop for an array of brightly colored Japanese maples, deciduous azaleas and many other plants with colorful fall foliage making the RSBG one of the best and most beautiful places on the west coast to see autumn foliage. As the rain returns, the garden is flush with vibrant mosses and colorful mushrooms that blanket logs and stumps throughout the garden. Popular fall plants include:
