This is not my normal post with helpful DIY tips for your garden. I just had a fantastic experience today and want all of you to have it too. I want to point out that Hershey pays me NOTHING (although I'd take it if they offered. he he). Maybe you've never heard of, or at least never visited Hershey Gardens in Hershey, PA. Maybe you've been but didn't go this year because of COVID 19. Maybe you think of it as a nice place to go in the summer but not so much in the fall.
First off, they are open. (Get all the info you need at their website) You only have to wear a mask when indoors, not in the actual gardens. The tickets today were $13.50 per adult but there are ways to get discounts. (Again, see the website).
Secondly, it is well worth going in the fall. My friend Jewell and I went this morning and even in drizzly weather, it was gorgeous. The rose gardens STILL look amazing (I wouldn't count on that after a hard frost though so go soon!). Also, their displays of annual beds was lovely. Of course, there's always the beautiful arboretum which will only get better as the foliage really starts to change.
For those of you with kids, they have a big butterfly house and a lovely children's garden which is very interactive. My daughter Hannah loves it.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll leave it at that and let you see theses pictures from this morning.

| The awesome thing about the annual beds is that they're always changing. |
