Come and walk the gardens during the peak of spring blooms on our ornamental shrubs. We will visit and discuss many plants of interest at this time of year. Depending on the spring weather, we will visit some interesting rhododendrons and azaleas, along with lilac, Viburnum, glossy abelia, enkianthus, and fothergilla, among others. We will take an intimate look at the flowers and discuss some care and needs for each plant.
