Out and About in the Arboretum

The Little Limelight Hydrangea can take the heat and keep on blooming, with creamy flowers that will last through the summer, and in fall will turn a rich pink color.

Vitex agnus-castus adds a soft lavender blush to the landscape.

On these sweltering hot days, as you are out and about, it could be a good time to pause and appreciate the value of trees during this summer weather.

In the warm weather, the brilliant colors of the Coneflowers (Echinacea) really stand out. The bees enjoy them as much as we do.

Just the other day one of our residents captured these images of the blooms in the Medford Campus Meadow.

Courtyard Garden 11 on the Medford Campus is home to the Stewartia koreana tree, a slow-growing, pyramidal native of Japan and the Korean peninsula.
