What's in Bloom

Evening Island: Winter interest: Cranberry cotoneaster (Cotoneaster apiculatus) - red fruits, Coral embers willow (Salix alba 'Britzensis') –colorful branches. Give yourself the gift of a Garden walk throughout the winter and enjoy the ever changing beauty of Evening Island. Notice the textures, colors and sounds of the Island's grasses (until they are cut back) along with the more open views of the other Garden areas. Experience what it feels like to be the first person down a Garden path after a fresh snowfall. The Garden is a wonderful place to visit in any season.

Fruit & Vegetable Garden: The Island is a good spot to view the work being done to create terraces and slopes that will be covered with plantings in the summer. Watch the exciting new shoreline being developed as you stroll the paths of this island.

Japanese Garden (Sansho-En): Note the gnarled, aged appearance of the trained pines and the mounded shape of the shrubs, contrasting with the redtwig dogwoods. Come and visit after a snowfall for great photo opportunities.
