The curving bed south of the gazebo is one of the oldest beds in the Learning Gardens. Extensively revamped in the late 1990’s, the garden features a color scheme of blue, purple, and pink-flowering perennials combined with gray foliage plants.
Numerous containers are on display to illustrate successful container design and maintenance. Plants in the containers are changed three to four times a year, to give people ideas for spring, summer, fall, and winter displays. The containers feature annuals, perennials, herbs, and even woody shrubs.
