Out and About in the Arboretum

Hydrangeas (the name comes from Greek and means ‘water vessel’) will be blooming for just a bit longer so be sure to enjoy them while you can!

It is a great time to be a Crape Myrtle! You can see them blooming all over campus in shades of red, pink and white.

Rudbeckia hirta, or Black-eyed Susan, is putting on quite a show of abundance and bright color in Court 22 right now.

The weeping Eastern Redbud in Court 16 is about 6 feet tall with incredibly long and full branches that cascade to the ground.

Despite the name, Fall Phlox, or Phlox paniculata, bloom in summer months, and are currently enjoying their time in the atrium of our community building.

Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is currently thriving in the Medford Meadow and acts as an ideal pollinator for many insects including the threatened Monarch butterfly.
