NOVEMBER UPDATE FROM GREENWOOD GARDENS

Dear Friends,
The unusually warm Autumn weather makes it hard to believe that
Greenwood  Gardens’ 2021 season is coming to
a close this Sunday. Soft apricot roses on the Main Lawn and
dramatic dahlias on the Reflecting Pool Terrace (above) remind us
that Mother Nature is not quite ready to call it a day. Despite
this seeming trickery, our horticulture and facilities staff are
busy “harvesting” fallen leaves to use as mulch, and preparing to
plant hundreds of tulips, daffodils and other spring flowering
bulbs.
Be sure to stop by this
final open weekend for a revitalizing stroll down
the terraced Main Axis with its two stately fountains and croquet
lawn. As you continue your tour, imagine a time gone by at the
iconic 1920s Teahouse and Summerhouse. Take a few moments to
daydream on a bench overlooking the bucolic ponds. And be sure to
have a talk with our friendly turkeys down at the
Barnyard. Now as always, nature, beauty, and history beckon at
Greenwood.
Please watch for our Notes from the Garden
through the winter and our upcoming issue of Seasons
to arrive soon in your mailbox!
With warmest wishes,
Abby O'Neill, Executive Director
