Ken Cravillion Fall Finale
September 17 – October 20, 2024
The Paine gardens give one last fanfare with the Fall Finale, capturing the essence of the season and celebrating nature’s transition with beauty and creativity.
Autumn’s rich hues mingle among the estate’s four acres of perennials, grasses, trees, and shrubs with the historic mansion as backdrop. In the Formal Garden, a magical display of chrysanthemums transforms the space from a summer paradise to a moody fall escape. A humongous maple tree in the Contemporary Garden dazzles as its bright green leaves change to golden yellow, vibrant orange and finally crimson, then bows as its leaves paint the path below in color.
