Molly and I went al over New England in search of fall colors and we saw some beautiful villages, dark blue skies, and great colors, but I was even more blown away by the colors in the Japanese Tea Garden at the end of the arboretum. So, if you want a short level hike with lots to see, try the Tea Garden. There are of course the beautiful colors, which by the way, are not characteristic of Japanese Gardens. They are suppose to be lots of shades of green.
And some beautiful ponds with bridges, rest areas and great reflections
Surprising to me were the animals. I expected the Koi
but the turtles sunning themselves on the rocks were a surprise. I have to admit, it was a great day for it.
So if you get a sunny day and a few hours before November is and the leaves are gone, I highly recommend the Japanese Tea Garden.
By the way, you cannot actually get a cup of tea there, but if you drive over the hill, there are lots of great lunch spots in Madison Park.
