There is a lot happening in the gardens this time of the year and the weather has certainly been on our side this winter and spring.  There are thousands of daffodils in flower throughout the grounds and the crabapples are budding and should be open in time for our season opening on April 14th.  Several rhododendrons are in flower and one near the lake has flowered and is already done for the season!  With this warmer weather, our rhododendrons are about 10-14 days ahead of a ‘normal’ year.

The hostas are sprouting in the Windmill Garden and we are hoping to divide some of them to use in other areas of the Gardens.  Our daylilies are sprouted and doing well. And soon, there will be waterlilies in the Flume Fountain Pool.  There should be lots of color in the Pool this summer so don’t miss it.
