Brilliant hues of red, orange and gold are lighting up the hills at Sonoma Botanical Garden, where the North Bay’s most distinctive display of fall color is now in full bloom — but only for the next couple of weeks.

The Garden’s Asian Woodland, home to rare and endangered trees from across East Asia, is putting on its annual autumn show, drawing visitors eager to see a collection of maples and other species seldom found outside their native habitats.
“The fall color at the garden is such a special sight,” said Jeannie Perales, the garden’s executive director. “Our unique Asian Woodland transports you across the Pacific to a place and a time when these species thrived in the wild.”
Founded in 1987, the 67-acre Sonoma Botanical Garden features Asian and California native plant collections, oak savanna, and vineyard landscapes.
The Garden is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 12841 Highway 12 in Glen Ellen. Admission is $15 for adults, with discounts for seniors, youth, and qualifying visitors through the Museums for All program.
