Poignant Beauty of the Aquatic Garden - 4/5 Stars
The Aquatic Garden in the fall offers a quiet, poignant beauty. The massive lily pads, though no longer blooming in their summer glory, sit quietly on the water's surface, edged with yellow and brown, alongside the fading lotus flowers. This area captures the gentle decline of the growing season perfectly. The slightly desolate, watery scene, combined with the reflection of the golden outdoor trees, creates a moody, reflective atmosphere that feels very appropriate for the transition toward winter. It's a peaceful spot for contemplation away from the crowds near the pumpkin displays.
