Early Summer in the Garden--2009

Photos by Helen Hamilton

The Ellipse Garden is heavily in bloom, thanks to abundant rain, and the deer fence which has allowed plants to flourish. A crew from Cooke's Gardens recently added mulch to the pathway, greatly enhancing the appearance of the Garden, and making strolls throught each area much easier. Come out and enjoy the spectacular early summer flower show!
