In Beaver Valley a brief spring becomes a long summer starting in late May.It is in this crease between spring and summer when the valley bursts in splendidcolor from the fresh green tips of the conifers’s branches and leaves of the deciduous trees to the variety of colors of the flowering shrubs and wildflowers. In Shady Grove Garden we add eye catching color to the native plants with cultivars including perennials, shrubs, annuals and flowering trees.
Do join us in enjoying the lovely colorsin SHADY GROVE GARDEN this Memorial Day weekend.

CONIFERS AND DECIDUOUS TREES REACH THE SKY
Ponderosa pines & Douglas firs
Ponderosa pines cleanse and freshen the air we breathe and together with deciduous trees create interesting shadows within the garden.
The rustling and vibrating spring green leaves of aspens delight the ear while a Norwegian Sentry purple maple adds color and texture.
