Aren't trees the greatest! Come show your appreciation for them by visiting the Garden! Not only is it free entry today, but the sun is shining, the weather is warm, flowers are blooming, and not to mention we're giving away free trees! I'm not sure there is a more perfect day to come visit the Garden!
Eastern Redbud Cercis canadensis
Check out this redbud! This is the beautiful tree we are giving away today! Help celebrate trees by planting one of your own!
Saskatoon Serviceberry Amelanchier alnifolia
This native tree was not in bloom yesterday, it decided Arbor Day was a great day to open up!
Many of our crabapples are blooming right now and they look spactacular! Here are a couple featured below!
Louisa Crabapple Malus 'Louisa'
Crabapple Malus 'Selkirk'
The Shaggy Mane Coprinus comatus
It's a mushroom! This is an edible mushroom, however, if you eat it, you will be allergic to alcohol for a few days.
Leopard's Bane Doronicum orientale 'Leonardo Compact'
This bright plant from the aster family can be seen near the Northwest corner of the Orangerie.
Trout Lily Erythronium x 'Pagoda'
This lovely plant can be seen along the Serviceberry Tunnel.
Show the trees some love this Arbor Day by picking up your free tree and planting it at home!
