Out and About in the Arboretum

Snow can be a divisive topic, but it didn’t seem to bother this frog in the atrium garden.

Snowdrops get their name from the snowy white petals as well as the downward facing blooms. Due to their very early wintertime appearance, there is often snow still on the ground when they emerge.

The beauty of freshly fallen snow is hard to deny. Snow cover is important in the winter because it insulates the ground from getting too cold and harming root systems.

Now is the best time to stop by the Haddon Greenhouse, to enjoy the bright colors and variety of plants.

You can’t miss the weeping golden foliage of the Sawara Falsecypress Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Filifera Aurea.

This Paperbark Maple (Acer griseum) in court 41 always offers something interesting, from rich fall foliage to curling bark.
