Curious about how the Park looks at different times of our events season? We’ve assembled photos of popular spots for most weeks in May through September. While every year is a bit different, they should give you an idea about what’s blooming and the state of our lawns.

September

Typically, during mid-September, the lavender field is in full bloom, the Drive hydrangeas begin their profuse show, and unwatered sections of lawns begin to turn brown.

Mid-September is eagerly anticipated at Anker, as it’s typically when we receive our first good rainfall after increasingly dry and warm summers. It’s also when autumn color appears suddenly on our maple trees and spirea shrubs, and flocks of Canada geese can be seen flying south.
