Morning Eye Candy: Gentle Sun

Morning peeks into the hollows of the Rock Garden with a reticent sort of light. The collection’s currently on track to stay open until November 15 this season—longer if the weather behaves.

Morning Eye Candy: Crystal Clear

It’s that time of year again—almost a holiday, really—where we pull out the cherry picker and take the whitewash off the Conservatory. If you didn’t know it was fall before, this is your cue!

The whitewash goes on in late spring, when high temperatures and bright sunlight need to be mitigated to keep our plants happy. Come the cooler months, we strip it off to give the Conservatory plants as much sunlight as possible. It’s a refreshing annual swap that signals lots of changes to come as the seasons play out.
