2023 Ginkgo Watch- Golden Carpet!

November 3, 2023 -- alf7f

The Ginkgo Grove undergoes a magical transformation each Fall as the leaves transition from green to gold. Here's what the Ginkgo Grove looks like today (Thursday, November 2nd).

Leaves are falling quickly, forming a golden carpet underfoot. A few trees are still holding onto their leaves. 

The best time to see golden ginkgoes at Blandy is usually late October - early November, although there is some variation in timing from year to year.

Stay tuned to our website, Facebook, and Instagram for regular updates on the state of the Grove, and check out this important information on our website as you plan your visit: https://blandy.virginia.edu/fall-2023-ginkgo-info
