Wonderland Express, running now through January 6, features model trains rolling through miniature city scenes with landscapes using many varieties of evergreens. The greenhouses are brightened with poinsettias, Christmas cactus and amaryllis. Shifting patterns of snow and ice creates picturesque scenes, as it covers garden beds, shrubs, slopes and lakes. Many trees and shrubs, such as crab apples, roses, winterberry, and beautyberry are adorned with vivid berries, which will remain to provide a feast for the birds. The twigs of redosier dogwood and the branches on willows are more prominent now.
