Colorful native plants lay a carpet of color among flowering crabapples and hawthorns, gracing the pathway between the Cascade stream and the
Water Garden with a splash of wildflowers, mixed with the splendor of the grasses. Three Golden Rain Trees (Koelreuteria paniculata) create a dominant feature by the first
Secret Garden bridge.
Penstemon, gallardia, flax, yarrow and prairie mallow are a highlight of this splendid meadow.
Artists and photographers alike have ample opportunity to use their medium to perfection in this focal garden.
