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
Hamamelis virginiana ‘Winter Champagne’ a Tim Brotzman introduction of Brotzman’s Nursery Madison Ohio, is in full bloom today. This cultivar is chosen for its later blooming period between December through February. An excellent pictorial list of available Witch Hazels can be viewed on their website at Witch Hazels (Hamamelis) - Brotzman's Nursery. Witch Hazels enhance the northern inter garden with their fragrance and blooms when no other plants are in flower.
