What’s Blooming in the Ornamental Garden?
Head Gardener Helen Westergren takes us on a tour of the ornamental garden. The Garden really astounds in Late July and August. Show stoppers like Sedum Autumn Joy, Alchemilla mollis (Lady’s Mantle), Phlox paniculata (Garden Phlox), and Echinacea purpurea (Purple Coneflower) are just a small sample of what’s in bloom.
