OLSON GARDENS VII – SHADY GROVE GARDEN IS COLORFUL FOR MEMORIAL DAY

In Beaver Valley a brief spring becomes a long summer in late May. It is in this crease between spring and summer when the valley bursts in splendid  color 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 colors  in SHADY GROVE GARDEN this Memorial Day weekend.
