Elisabeth Miller regularly designed and selected plants for her garden with autumn interest in mind. From the first whispers of fall in September to the fading last days of the season in November, the Garden is full of color and drama. Thanks to flaming foliage and fall-blooming bulbs, as well as plants with interesting berries, bark and blooms late in the season, there is no shortage of beauty as autumn reigns. Join gardener Maggie Rutherford as she discusses key fall garden practices and highlights some of the best plants of the season, all at the height of autumn color in the Miller Garden.
