Winter or Spring???

It's that time of the year again; pretty picture time. As the Arboretum awakens with the crazy mild temperature this winter has brought us, color begins to erupt. I fear this weeks cold snap may grind some of this pre season blooming to a hault. Stay tuned for more...

...and so it begins...

No Foolin' on April 1st...

The Spring Blooms continue here at the Arboretum; hard to believe it is already April but here it tis upon us. Crabapple are mostly finished but the Dogwood and Redbud follow and continue into Spring full stride. The Rhodies and their associates begin to awaken and with the current cooler temperatures and lovely rainfall they will slowly begin to do their thing as well.Stay tuned for more of the display...

Offically Spring!

This weekend marked the offical kick off to Spring 2011. The plant world often pays little atention to such deadlines but it seems as though the Crabapple Collection decided it was time to let it rip. Dogwood are slowly begining to show color, Cherry continues to dazzle, Redbud are glorious and the Rhodies are waiting in the wings soon to open and give us a show. Enjoy the new photo additions.

The Magnolia Collection continues to bedazzle us here at the Arboretum; mother nature has been kind with delivering perfect weather. More open every day and the rest of the property begins to wake from winters long slumber. Stay tuned for more...
