Over there you can see one of the bridges that cross the stream. Let's follow this path.
As you will notice that shade dominates this garden. But as we follow the path we come into a drier section of the garden. In spring the Azalea bloom and in winter you can find the flowers of the Camellias. But other than that there are only a few beds of plants. The main focus of this are seems to be the live oaks.
There is a large Stagehorn Fern hanging in this one just around the corner. There are several in the gardens they where damaged by the freezes last winter but are recovering nicely
Over to our left is a small herb garden, it is new and they are still working out what will grow in this area. That path continues into one of the nature trails that wander over the park.
To our left is a group of Hibiscus moscheutos and again there is a fence to keep out the deer. Right beyond that is a who boarder of Schefflera arboricola
Ahead are some of the Live Oaks, do you notice the down tree, that has been there many years. It is strange to see a died tree but it does make a very interesting garden feature.
Up ahead is one of the old mighty oaks that this garden was named for. And here is another with 2 of my gardening fiends...I mean friends.
There is a rebellion going on in my picture files, they are fighting on who will be next. So we will take a break, and I will continue this tour tomorrow, after I get them back in order
