Welcome to the 2010 season at Garden in the Woods! 

Spring has sprung at Garden in the Woods and we couldn’t be happier.  After last year’s cool and rainy garden season, an early spring is just the reward we gardeners deserve!  The abundance of rain and the warm weather have pushed the plants to a spectacular but early bloom.   So, what is blooming?   Check out our new virtual bloom board on our web site, which will be updated weekly. You can discover when your favorite plants are blooming and make sure you see them in the Garden.  Don’t forget to check out our events calendar which is full of things for you and your family to enjoy.  From old favorites such as Earth Day to new experiences like Hiawatha Day, the Garden provides a great way to combine learning and fun!  Horticulture, conservation and education work side by side to beautify and preserve our communities and teach people about our native flora.

Growing communities: native plants and people is the theme of the season. The Society’s conservation efforts strive to preserve individual native plant species and build communities of these plants in healthy habitats. Horticultural efforts seek to create sustainable communities of plants or “gardens”, using fewer resources to keep gardens beautiful and thriving. Education programs serve communities of learners of all ages, providing awareness and appreciation of native plants.  

We couldn’t be happier that you too are part of our growing community and we look forward to seeing you at the garden!

Sincerely,

Scott LaFleur, Botanic Garden Director
