THE MAGIC
OF CHRISTMAS
December 1 through January 6
Thousands of coloured lights
combine with magnificent
decorations to herald the festive
season. Both by day and at night
there is magic and music to
delight all ages. Sharpen up
your skates for a waltz around
the outdoor ice skating rink.
(Rentals available.)
Welcome. This simple guide is meant to answer the most common questions
visitors have from touring our 55 ACRES of gardens. Here you will find many
of the plants either commonly used in our gardens, or those attracting the
most attention. The small boxes under each photo show the commonly
available colours, although they may not all be found in our gardens. Our
friendly, knowledgeable staff in the PLANT IDENTIFICATION CENTRE, or when closed,
the Visitor Information Centre can assist you with more in-depth information.
If you can´t find a plant in this guide, consider taking a digital photo and
showing it to our staff. One of our 50 GARDENERS may also be able to assist you.
