Arbor Perennial Gardens
The gardens that surround the Trial Gardens
Master Gardeners and volunteers undertook renovations in the perennial gardens surrounding the Trial Gardens including the area under the very large, old Crabapple tree. The ‘no dig’ method of weeding and newspaper with mulch was used. The gardens are continually changing and being maintained by our committed volunteers.

Climbing roses were given a severe pruning and trained to the trellises.
The arbor leading onto the lawn from the Trial Gardens was donated by the Veterans Garden Committee of the Garden Center. It is planted with white climbing roses and clematis.
