Foliage update 10/12/26. We are sure you're hearing things are past peak now and we can't argue that but this is what past peak still looks like! This year has been a much slower progression with leaves hanging on longer despite some windy days.

Purple thistle. We tried planting a new perennial this year and this is the only one that has bloomed. Even with such delicate flowers, it has survived several frosts. By next summer, all of the plants should be spectacular as they have all rooted well this year. A last little snack for pollinators before they sleep for winter.

Happy October! What a day! Things are definitely pretty close to peak in spots and overall I'd say we are at about 85-90%. Things should be ideal this weekend and the majority of next week. This weekend is nearly full but we do have availability all mid-week leading up to the holiday weekend. Give us a call!

September 25th: it's a stunning fall day that colors are starting to pop! There are spots of full color and you can see the mountains starting to change. Looks like it's going to be a good foliage year after the washed out colors last fall from the drought.

A quick picture of the nearly total lunar eclipse before clouds rolled back in. Pictures never do it justice and some of the haze is from the clouds and some from the limits of cellphone technology.

The best the petunias have been in many years!

Quack quack! Have you ever seen a duck play ping pong? When the Braicas first started coming to Carlson's the entire building was carpeted in the paisley carpet which now only resides in the game room :) What a great visit!
