Woodland Garden Wonders

Plants that stopped us in our tracks this Spring

Sometimes we just have to stop in awe to observe for a moment the wonders of Nature. We’re privileged to be tending the native plant garden shown here for the fourteenth year! The garden changes – from year to year, season to season, and week to week.

This spring we were stopped in our boots by the bounty of woodland plants we observed. Notice the whorls of Wild Ginger (Asarum canadense) flanked by a stately stand of Meadow Rue (Thalictrum).

Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) provides shade for violets (Viola sororia), Virginia Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum), and other shade-loving woodland plants.
