Frances Hodges Burnett’s 1911 novel The Secret Garden has been a gateway to gardening for generations of readers. Revealing both the magical metamorphosis of hidden spaces and the transformational aspects of nurturing nature, the novel inspires us to re-examine the latent possibilities of places and people. Join us to explore secret gardens and garden secrets through a series of talks and walks with experts and authors from the fields of horticulture, landscape architecture, and horticulture therapy. 

Winterthur’s Garden Symposium has been approved for LA CES HSW.

Check these out:

• Heavenly Hellebores:  The Lenten roses (Helleborus species & hybrids) are blooming in white, pink spotted, pink, & wine red in the Greenhouse sunken garden, in front of The Cottage, along Winterhazel Walk,  at the edge of the Pinetum and in the raised bed in the Museum East courtyard.

• A blizzard of snowflakes:  Spring snowflakes (Leucojum vernum) are carpeting the sices of the walkway to Icewell Terrace.  They are blooming in less dramatic numbers in other parts of the gardens.

• The blue carpet is rolling out:  The Museum Upper Terrace lawn is carpeted with lavender blue glory-of-the-snow (Chionoodoxa forbesii) which are also found throughout the gardens.  The royal blue of Siberian squill (Scilla siberica) is carpeting the lawn adjacent to the walk from Winterhazel Walk to Icewell Terrace and areas of Azalea Woods and the sunken garden in the Greenhouse area.  They dot the lawn sloping from Garden Lane to the Museum & are found in many other areas of the garden.

Bloom Report presented by: Pauline Myers

The post Winterthur Bloom Report #23 appeared first on Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.

March 29, 2023
56F, Sunny

Check these out:

• Superb Sundial:  Flowers of star magnolias (Magnolia stellata cultivars), saucer magnolias (Magnolia x soulangeana cultivars) and the magnificent Wada’s Memory magnolia (Magnolia ‘Wada’s Memory’) are underlined by theblooming  garland spiraea (Spiraea x arguta).

• It’s a Brief Show:  The white flowers of bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) are blooming in many areas of the garden this week.  They are particularly abundant on the hill below the walkway at the lower edge of the Parking Area and in the Quarry Garden on the upper hillside facing Sycamore Hill.  Their flowers last a very short time.

• A River of Blue:  It starts in Azalea Woods, flows down the lawn to the Museum including the upper East Terrace, down the March Bank and up the opposite side to the walkway from Winterhazel Walk to Icewell Terrace.  It’s made up of lavender blue glory-of-the-snow (Chionodoxa forbesii), royal blue Siberian squill (Scilla siberica), and blue to white Italian anemone (Anemone apennina).  The sunken garden in the Greenhouse area is a sea of intense blue and the rest of the gardens have blue accents in greater or lesser numbers.

• Flowering Quince:  The Quince Walk area of the Pinetum is filled with the bright red, red-orange, peach, and white blossoms of flowering quince (Chaenomeles species & cultivars). 

• Heavenly Hellebores:  The Lenten roses (Helleborus species & hybrids) are blooming in white, pink spotted, pink, & wine red in the Greenhouse sunken garden, in front of The Cottage, along Winterhazel Walk, at the edge of the Pinetum and in the raised bed in the Museum East courtyard.

Bloom Report presented by: Pauline Myers

The post Winterthur Bloom Report #16 appeared first on Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.

April 12, 2023
82F, Sunny

Check these out:

• Daffodils Everywhere:  Daffodils (Narcissus species and cultivars) are blooming throughout the Estate in small clumps and huge expanses.  There are too many to count!

• Pearlbush:  The Latimer Gates are highlighted by the white flowers of Wilson’s pearlbush (Exochorda giralidd x wilsonii) while a smaller pearlbush cultivar (Exochorda macrantha ‘The Bride’) is blooming in the Pinetum and the Sundial Garden.

• Another Blue Wave:  Azalea Woods is filled with the delicate blue and white daisy-like Italian windflowers (Anemone apennina) and light blue Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica).   They spill down the March Bank and fill parts of Icewell Terrace and Enchanted Woods and decorate other areas in the gardens.

• Primroses:  The Quarry is showy with bright pink Japanese primroses (Primula sieboldii) and red candelabra primroses (Primula species), which are also blooming along the Glade path.  Pale yellow oxlip primroses (Primula elatior) are blooming in Azalea Woods and along the path to Icewell Terrace.

• A Colorful Show:  The Quince Walk is a flurry of flowers with the flowering quince (Chaenomeles cultivars) showing off in blazing red-orange, orange, red and cooler pale orange & white with a supporting cast of white spiraea (Spiraea cantoniensis & Spiraea prunifolium cultivars) and a carpet of pale blue starflower (Ipheion uniflorum).

• Violets: Blue, blue & white, & yellow violets (Viola species) are blooming throughout the gardens and fields.
