The daffodils were out in all their glory but all the rest were still trying to come out of their winter slumber. It appeared that they had a touch of a frost as well some of the blooms were a bit haggard. We enjoyed ourselves none the less. Our favorite daffodil we picked out is the white with the orange neck. I also really like the yellow one that was clustery with orange highlights. They also had a great children’s garden that we will have to return to when it is in it’s glory. I would love to see the “Dragon” trellis in its peak I bet the kiddos go nuts over that.

They also had an event showcasing some Bonsai plants. Here are our favorites. The one on the left has been “in training for 80+ years”…
