Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) perched in the pecan tree, spotted by our Buildings and Grounds Technician, Brad Kessans, who’s not only handy but a talented naturalist. See if you can spot this orange-bellied bird during your next visit!

Out with the old, in with the new!

Horticultural staff and volunteers have been hard at work removing the bulbs from the Big Bloom and replacing it with a gorgeous summer annual display. We are so fortunate to have a whole nursery operation that grows and nurtures these plants in the greenhouse before they’re put in the ground. Sayde, our Garden and Arboretum Manager and the designer behind the display, arranged the potted up plants that will be planted around the castle tomorrow and it already has such an impact! It’s exciting to watch these plants grow and the drama unfold as the season progresses.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with this massive garden project. It takes a village. #weloveourvolunteers

Growing gardens. Growing gardeners.

Thanks to Girl scout troop 787 for helping plant annuals in the Kitchen Garden!

We had an awesome day in the gardens with volunteers... Second Saturday Workday, Volunteer Orientation, and our first drop-in tour led by a volunteer tour guide since 2019!!

Did we mention its peony season? 😍 Make sure to plan a visit in May. These flowers are not to be missed!

Mantis egg sack hatched in the Pavilion Garden! How many baby praying mantis can you spot?

New to the Online Plant Market: 𝘊𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘶𝘴 ssp. 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘴 (Cardoon)

A screaming purple flower standing a few feet above some of the most bold color and texture you can get on a garden plant. Yew Dell has had Cardoons in the kitchen garden for years and it is a visitor favorite. 2-3’ long silver leaves give way to the flowers that the pollinators absolutely love.

Two words to describe Yew Dell after all the rain: LUSH and GREEN. #fernatics
