Ginkgo Watch (Sept. 27th)

2023 GINKGO WATCH- STILL GREEN!

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. Although a few of the youngest saplings are staring to show a tinge of yellow, the vast majority of the leaves at the Grove are still green.

The best time to see golden ginkgoes at Blandy is usually late October - early November.

Stay tuned to our website, Facebook, and Instagram for regular updates on the state of the Grove!
