Fall Blooms still strong

There are four varieties of fall blooming anemones on the Greenway, and they are all looking good right now. The white flower here is Anemone ‘Whirlwind’. The classic, slightly small, October colored blossom is the Helenium ‘Mardi Gras, also known as Sneezeweed. These will bloom August through September, and on into October.  

What is this plant?

“What is this plant???” is a question our Horticultural staff hears daily. And we love telling you! We keep careful records of what is planted in our gardens, but we haven’t quite been able to share that wealth of knowledge with everyone yet. Until now.

One Good Elm Deserves Another

A Valley Forge Elm Tree was installed in the southern North End Park this week. This is meant as a companion to the big Elm in the northern North End Park.
