概要
クイックファクト: Visitors can wander across roughly 47 acres of mixed habitats, spotting native wildflowers, a formal rose garden, and shaded woodland trails. Hands-on volunteer programs train hundreds each year, and free paths connect demonstration beds, a rock garden, and a hummingbird-friendly pollinator area.
見どころ: A heady wash of azalea perfume explodes across the slopes in spring, and volunteer surveys have recorded more than 2,000 bulbs and perennials in concentrated beds. A quirky Saturday ritual lets locals trade labeled cuttings under an old stone pavilion, gardeners swapping varieties by name while the air smells of cut herbs and fresh soil.

- Avoid weekend afternoons during seasonal plant sales and festivals to skip crowds.
