Fall flowers, plants, apple and pumpkin picking in the Adirondacks.
All spring and summer, our in-residence gardener, aka Papa Bear, is on the lookout for any reason to travel to It’s About Thyme Farm in Olmstedville for something he has to have for his garden: begonias for his flower boxes, hanging flower pots for the front porch, adding more astilbes to his flower beds, a few more succulents for his rock gardens, or a new aquatic plant for his water feature. The list goes on.
But my favorite time to go is in the fall. As the leaves in the Adirondacks turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold, It’s About Thyme Farm transforms into an autumn wonderland.
