A stroll down the central promenade surrounds visitors with nearly 7,000 blooming annuals and perennials, shaped evergreens, ornamental trees, cascading vines, and flowering shrubs providing a year-round garden experience. In spring, visitors are immersed in billowing blooms from ornamental crabapple trees. Summer brides have their pick of roses, lilies, hydrangeas, and phlox to pose against; and when snow spotlights the magical ensemble of evergreen box, arborvitae, and yews, it is a moment for living architecture to shine.
