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 (Friday, October 27th).
Most of the trees in the Grove have yellow leaves, and leaves have begun to fall from a few trees.
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.
For the safety of all visitors, the route to the Ginkgo Grove along Tuleyries Lane and through the Cedars of Lebanon will only be open to pedestrians and to staff vehicles. So sorry for any inconvenience!
