Yesterday was the first of many 90° degree days this summer. One of the coolest places to hide out from the heat is under the Bamboo grove typically below the bamboo canopy temperatures can be 10 to 20° degrees cooler. Gardenview Horticultural Park has one of the only Bamboo forests guests & members can walk through in NE Ohio.

Trilliums are one of the best forest spring flowers. At Gardenview Horticultural Park there are a couple places where they live. If you happen to come across some in the park please post some pictures of them.

Trilliums
Probably one of the most beautiful and most sought-after Woodland Wildflowers. They put on quite the show in the early Spring before the leaves come on the Trees. There are several different colors different leaf shapes and variations, each having its own unique characteristics.

Now it the perfect time to plant them, they will still be dormant when you receive them, so plant them and they will emerge very soon! These are a very long-lived plant so you can enjoy these for many years to come.

Order $100.00 or more of the bareroot size and receive free shipping. Enter Trillium in the discount code box during checkout.
