Denver Botanic Gardens

#tesaruonbudget The Japanese Garden in the fall is a study in muted elegance. The leaves of the laceleaf maples turn rich scarlet, providing a deep, intense color that contrasts sharply with the smooth gray stone and dark wood structures. The dry leaves crunching underfoot on the carefully raked paths add an important sensory element to the visit. It feels incredibly peaceful and introspective—a perfect spot for quiet reflection on the changing season, escaping the more bustling harvest areas.
