Other Gardens at the Park

Color is evident in the gardens throughout the season.  Starting in early spring the tulip display provides show stopping color and fragrance in the Annuals Garden area.  Once they have gone by, the bulbs are removed and are replaced with the annuals that were started in the greenhouse.   They will provide color and texture to the garden until frost.


The
Herb Garden is maintained by The Connecticut Unit of the Herb Society of America.  This classic design holds a multitude of varieties that show the range of herb plants.


The
Perennial Garden was designed by Frederick MacGourty.   His design utilizes cool and warm zones of color that move throughout the garden as the season progresses.  The gazebo in the center of the garden affords a shady spot to enjoy the surrounding beauty.


The Rock Garden provides a quiet getaway for peaceful contemplation.  Its springtime bloom is breathtaking and all season long its subtle changes provide a backdrop for rest and relaxation.  Next to the rock garden is a wonderful collection of ornamental grasses which provide an interesting view all year long.
