Over the past decade, Martha has planted hundreds of Japanese maples on her farm in Bedford—and every autumn, the trees put on a dazzling show. "I first became enamored with Japanese maples when I visited Japan with my then-husband and daughter years ago. On our travels from city to countryside, we saw many types of this graceful tree. It was autumn, and their colors ranged from brilliant reds to bright oranges to yellow-golds, and even the darkest magentas. I was entranced. I vowed that I would plant as many as I could, in as many different sizes, forms, and colors as possible," Martha wrote in our October 2021 magazine.
