AT THE ARBORETUM

As you stroll by the various garden beds and borders at the Arboretum, you'll be treated to a colorful variety of plants. The following photographs focus on the annual displays made possible by grants from the Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum - Your Dollars At Work!

The raised beds leading to the Haggerty Education Center (HEC) are planted with a wide variety of colorful annuals, such as calibrachoa, elephant ears, snapdragon, etc. When you visit, be sure to look for the sign in the bed identifying each plant. The purple tuteurs in the beds provide a nice focal point and contrast to the many red, orange and yellow flowers.

The borders along the entry path to the HEC contain a variety of tropical plants, i.e. bananas, more elephant ears, cannas, etc. Also a calla lily with lush green leaves speckled with white. Sadly, I don't know the name of the lovely hot pink plant in front of it.

The espaliered Japanese plum on the carriage house sports a nice collection of colorful annuals at its feet.

And the overgrown Taxus bed at the main entrance to the Mansion has been replanted with a neat group of boxwood.

Plan to visit soon so you can see all the lovely beds and borders for yourself!

Thank you to Heather Emelander for providing the photographs.
