GPOD on the Road: Springtime at Mt. Cuba Center - FineGardening
Abstract
Mt. Cuba Center has an outstanding collection of North American trilliums. More than a third of the native species are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss and overgrazing by deer and feral pigs. Weโd love to see your garden, a particular collection of plants you love, or a wonderful garden you had the chance to visit. Do you receive the GPOD by email yet? Do you received the GPod.

Today Kevin Kelly is taking us along to visit a fantastic public garden. I recently took a trip to Mt. Cuba Center, which is located in Delaware. It opened to the public in 2013, but its roots began about 80 years ago. The centerโs mission is to inspire an appreciation for the beauty and value of native plants and to protect the habitats that sustain them. This is a bucket-list garden for anyone to visit. Here are just a few photos from my visit. The pond is a wonderful place to sit, relax, an...

Weโre with Cherry Ong today, tagging along on a garden tour she did earlier this year during a trip to the Toronto area. According to the brochure Cherry received for the tour, this woodland planting is the garden of a professional gardener who likes to garden in harmony with nature, using nothing but fallen leaves to fertilize and enrich the soil. Here you can see a diversity of beautiful ferns as thriving in those conditions. If you choose the right plants for the right spots, theyโll thri...

Today Cherry Ong is taking us along to a garden she visited this spring. I had a serendipitous discovery when we visited Boundary Bay in Tsawassen, British Columbia, in a district called Southlands Tsawassen. There is a vibrant community garden there called Earthwise Gardens by Earthwise Society. Hereโs more info on the farm and garden: earthwisesociety.bc.ca. We came on a rainy day, but that didnโt stop us from experiencing the vibrance and freshness of the garden. Spanish bluebells (Hyacin...

Weโre traveling with Deborah Dorman today, who is taking us to Mendenhall Gardens in Juneau, Alaska. A flurry of golden bidens flowers (Bidens ferulifolia, Zones 9โ11 or as an annual) accentuates the beauty of these rock formations. Blue lobelia (Lobelia erinus, annual) is a beautiful little plant that thrives best in cooler temperatures, so it is a perfect choice for an Alaskan garden. A spectacular display of hanging baskets is overflowing with petunias (Petunia hybrid, Zones 10โ11 or as...

Cherry Ong is again taking us along to visit beautiful gardens, this time plantings in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario. One of the top reasons I love walking along Queen Street in Niagara-on-the-Lake is to experience the amazing summer annual display along the street and fronting the stores and hotels. I walked the street twice to study the garden and container-garden designs (patterns and colors and all) hoping to take inspiration home with me for planting my own summer garden. This photo along ...

Frequent GPOD contributor Cherry Ong took a trip to Toronto recently and got the chance to tour some beautiful gardens. And, lucky for us, she took a lot of beautiful photos. I attended the Through the Garden Gate Wychwood garden tours offered by the Toronto Botanical Gardens. The garden description from the tour brochure says this: โThis pretty front garden is an example of symmetry with boxwood squares complemented by topiary shrubs. The back garden is separated by a greenery-covered arch. P...

Friend of the GPOD Cherry Ong took a trip recently from her home on the west coast of Canada to Toronto and sent in some shots from gardens she was able to visit. Today sheโs taking us along to see the Toronto Botanical Garden. This is the Terraced Garden, which is described on the website as โa buffer zone between the parking lot and the gardens. Its underlying structure is built of waste from the original construction site and includes recycled materials such as bottles and bricks for aest...

Cherry Ong is taking us along again to visit a beautiful space, the Doris Page Winter Garden in the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia. As the name suggests, this garden is focused on winter interest and blooms, but it is full of beauty in other times of the year as well. Cherry visited in spring.

This is Kevin Kelly, and I thought I would share some photos from my trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show in mid-June. This show is the nationโs largest, and the worldโs longest-running horticultural event, having begun in 1829. Over the years the show has been held indoors in early March, but the pandemic has forced it to be outdoors the last two years. This year, temperatures rose into the mid-90s, which caused its own set of challenges. The show plans to return to its indoor setting and M...
