FREMONT, CA — While leaves often turn brown and fall off trees in Autumn, there are places, such as Shinn Historical Park & Arboretum, where flowers are blooming.

"Fall is a special time at the park," Janet Barton, a volunteer at the park, told Patch. "When the cool-season flowers like camellias are blooming in the gardens.”
