Staff Picks
What surprised me most of all and is totally cool – the purple tinted Daucus carota ‘Dara’ that is growing in the Great Lawn bed, facing the café windows. Really unusual. – Courtney, campaign coordinator
A very special rarity has started blooming in the Perennial and Rose Garden Bed leading to the Children’s Garden. Be sure to walk the terrace loop rather than cutting down the stairs to the whales to catch this beauty. Verateum nigrum, Black False Hellebore. An unusual beauty indeed! – Syretha, horticulturist
The Echinacea ‘Hot Papaya’ on the Great Lawn by the rocks are such a deep, beautiful color. – Emily, philanthropy assistant
This ‘Cherry Fluff’ Echinacea was just planted this year in the Cleaver Event Lawn, and is already looking great with these cool bi-colored blooms. – Anna, horticulturist
As promised, the super stylish seed heads of Scabiosa ‘Sternkugel’. Smart, showy, and easy to grow! Gaze at these starry balls in the Bibby and Harold Alfond Children’s Garden. – Jen, horticulturist
The entrance to the Lerner Garden is going to be very fragrant this week. Lilium ‘Golden Stargazer’ and Lilium ‘Silk Road’ are in bloom. – Will, horticulturist
Graceful and pure, this Echinacea purpurea ‘White Swan’ is in the Vayo Meditation Garden. – Patty, horticulturist
The purple pineapple liles (Eucomis ‘Oakhurst’) that are in the Children’s Garden at the fork in the path are GORGEOUS! – Courtney, campaign coordinator
The pink and white Hydrangea that grow around the Children’s Garden are one of my favorites! The flower clusters are so big and the colors are gorgeous. – Emily, philanthropy assistant
In the Great Lawn Ledge Bed, more than just the Echinaceas are looking superb! Walk around to the back edge or up on the ledge to see the Queen-of-the-prairie (Filipendula rubra ‘Venusta’) and Summer Sun False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides var. scarbra ‘Sommersonne’) blooming in tandem! – Syretha, horticulturist
I love the collection of agastaches that are growing to the left of the entrance into the Kitchen Garden. Diane has planted an assortment of tall varieties in assorted shades of pink. Beautiful – and the hummingbirds love them. – Courtney, campaign coordinator
