Trip Report

Overcast skies did not deter our exploration of the Rhododendron and Native Plant gardens. Tall Japanese anemone swaying in the breeze and not giving up, Dorothy finding every flash of color from rhodies, azaleas, and cyclamen, and meeting Emily the head gardener, to answer all of our questions. A lovely stroll with bursts of color along hidden paths.
