Our gardens bloom year round due to the mild winter temperatures. There is always something to see.
Spring is the time of most intense bloom and color throughout the gardens.
This year we are featuring a fabulous sweet pea maze that will be in full bloom this spring. This map divides the U.S. into areas where winter low temperatures are the same within a few degrees. Use it as a guide to choosing plants that should survive the winter in your area. If a plant is hardy to Zone 5, this means it is hardy to -20F, the average annual minimum temperature in Zone 5. The zones are approximate, so some gardeners experiment by growing plants rated hardy for one zone colder or warmer than their location.
