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 !

Thank-you for attending yesterday’s Plant Sale! Despite the rainy start, the event was a success!! Of course our fabulous hard-working volunteers made the day 💚 & the Cafe offered yummy treats too. Plus Catherine F. bidded generously for the handmade auction table. So nice to see you & we appreciate your support; Bravo All 😊!

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. 🌱
