WHAT'S IN BLOOM

It is a good time to head out to the Arboretum to see what plants have started to emerge from their winter sleep.  A lot of new plants have been added (thanks to all of you who have supported us by attending the speaker event in January and our past plant sales).  A good place to begin your self-guided tour is to start at the What's In Bloom Display under the Green Roof Shelter.  Ten plants of interest are selected each week.  Their names and locations in the gardens are listed on the white board.

This week's selections:
