Out and About in the Arboretum

In the garden at the Medford Leas main entrance there is a pair of spectacular Yucca filamentosa plants. Known by their common name, Adam’s Needle, the tall narrow blooms can reach heights of 8 feet.

Between the abundant variety of blooming flowers and busy wildlife, there is so much to see these days in the Medford Leas Meadow…

The stunning color of this Flame Azalea offers a striking contrast to the greenery by which it is surrounded.

Fringe tree is a unique species that produces long, strand-like flowers which are quite striking at full bloom.

Near the entrance to the community building, you’ll find this dazzling display of white azaleas.

The Mayapple plant, Podophyllum peltatum, grows low to the ground along the Y12 trail.
