Early November, and it's time for a nature walk through the color-coded forest of Herrontown Woods. Color-coded because each tree and shrub is showing distinctive coloration that can make it a snap to identify, even from great distance.
The walk will head out at 11am this Sunday, Nov. 2, from the gazebo at the Botanical Art Garden (Barden), next to the main parking lot, 600 Snowden Lane. The walk is free, but donations to the Friends of Herrontown Woods are welcomed.
Come early and enjoy coffee and baked treats at May's Pop-up Cafe in the Barden from 9-11, and with all the fall colors, take part in an art project called the Community Collage.
Along with colorful leaves--still on branches or lying in a colorful collective on the ground--we'll see the bright berries of Hearts 'a Bustin'. If you look closely, you'll even see witch hazel in full bloom.
Here are four native shrubs that have shown particularly bright fall color: blackhaw Viburnum ("blackhaw" means black berry),
