Plant Theft Again!

During the period of June 3-4, around the Main Lawn, unscrupulous thieves stole a large clump of Fern Leaf Peony.    Please help us protect this special place!  Stay alert of suspicious behavior and report questionable &/or destructive actions to the Police.   We need to keep this National Historic Site safe for everyone’s enjoyment. Thank you for your concern & vigilance.

BTW, our Annual Plant Sale offers great buys. Plus, we luv to share our plants with the public, when it’s appropriate to do so, considering the plants’ life-cycle and health. That would be the “honest way” to welcome our plants to your home garden. Just sayin !

Here at the greenhouse … new life is emerging to greet the coming spring, even though it’s currently very cold outside. ❄

And, so it begins … Romulea bulbocodium, an out of zone corm that will be grown for the herbarium and overwinter inside; Allium senescens ssp. Montanum & Campanula thyrsoides – all sprouts looking promising & cozy in the indoor warmth. 🌱

Spring has finally sprung
