It's hard to remember every plant we have or would
like to have. That's why we keep lists. Our plant lists content information
about our tries at growing, general information on the plant and
photographs. |

There are
over 200
species of plants cultivated in our gardens. To learn more
about any of these either find the plant in the list above,
search for a plant in the box to the left or clock on one of the
categories or locations in the left column.
Each plant
listed will show a picture, and our notes about that plant. When possible, we include the Latin
botanical name, a short descriptions, and planting
notes. |
