 Meadow; Whats In Bloom... The "meadow" is a low-lying area that collects rainwater. Although this section of the rain garden is not a true rain garden by definition, it does hold, infiltrate, and absorb storm-water runoff!

 Introducing the Moonlight Garden; Whats In bloom. The Moonlight Garden has evolved over time from a quiet corner tucked away, thick with shrubs with light-colored and fragrant blooms to attract nighttime pollinators such as moths and beetles. The recent redesign of the moonlight garden now features trellis', a spiral stone bed with short radiating pathways for better views of the plantings.  In Bloom this week:  Sweetshrub Fleabane Erigeron philadelphicus  And from the weedpatch...  Spiderwoart  Vetch  Amsonia Iris  Purple Pitcher Plant  Texas Sage  Black and Blue Sage  False Indigo  Common Ninebark  Penstemon  Rue  Hearts-A-Bustin'  Wisteria (GA NAtive)  Cross Vine  Green and Gold  Wild Geranium  Duthman's Pipe  Onithogalu
