| Color is evident in the gardens
throughout the season. Starting in early spring the tulip display provides show
stopping color and fragrance in the Annuals Garden
area. Once they have gone by, the bulbs are removed and are replaced with the
annuals that were started in the greenhouse. They will provide color and texture to
the garden until frost.
The Herb Garden
is a cooperative effort between the garden staff and the Connecticut Chapter of the
American Herb Society. This classic design holds a multitude of varieties that show
the range of herb plants.
The Perennial
Garden was designed by Frederick MacGourty. His design utilizes cool and
warm zones of color that move throughout the garden as the season progresses. The
gazebo in the center of the garden affords a shady spot to enjoy the surrounding beauty.
The Rock Garden
provides a quiet getaway for peaceful contemplation. Its springtime bloom is
breathtaking and all season long its subtle changes provide a backdrop for rest and
relaxation. Next to the rock garden is a wonderful collection of ornamental grasses
which provide an interesting view all year long.
