Come Walk Among the Trees . . .
Our mission is to collect, maintain, and display a diverse palate of native and introduced woody plants for the purpose of educating the public, private, and educational sectors on their benefits, proper identification, planting and potential use in the landscape.
What’s In Bloom Today
The Witch Hazels are currently coming into bloom, depending on the species and cultivar these plants can provide a winter interest of blossoms with colors or yellow, red, orange and amethyst. For winter interests no garden is complete without a Witch Hazel. This one shown here is a dwarf cultivar of Hamamelis virginiana called Little Suzie.
