Situated in front of the Bickelhaupt Visitors Center, the sloping
Country Flower Garden is an informal mixed garden designed to be
viewed and used through all four seasons of the year. Spring bulbs
begin the flower season early, followed by blooming annuals and
perennials from summer to fall against a brick and split rail fence
backdrop. Interest is extended through the winter season with the
stuctural evergreens (including an evergreen "waterfall"), deciduous
shrubs and ornamental grasses. The Country Garden features both
traditional garden favorites such as Gerbera Daisies, Dahlias, and
Black-eyed Susans, as well as new and unusual varieties including the
Candy Corn Vine, Summer's Kiss Gaillardia, and the new Orange
Coneflowers, with a special emphasis on flowers and foliages for
fresh and dried floral arrangements. To view photographs of the Country Flower Garden, click HERE. |
