What's in Bloom?
There's a lot blooming in the garden! See below for a complete list of this week's blooms, plus a map to help you find each theme garden and bed number.
Updated August 26, 2021: There are 248 clematis in bloom. We are enjoying the best August ever! Many large-flowered clematis are reblooming, as well as C. montana hybrids (scant, but welcome!) and the continued reblooming of such denizens of April as ‘Blue Bird’ in Bed 23 of The Hedges. The days have cooled, and we even had some coastal mist this afternoon. And our ever-bearing strawberries shading the feet of the clematis in the Modern Garden are proving true to name, with lots of fruit still setting on. Have a nibble or two when you visit.
For those of you on Facebook, we are frequently updating an album called Other Plants to showcase the companion plants. You can find it under Photos.
Visit SHOP to see the updated list of what we have available for sale.

The Egg
Artist James Harrison donated a handsome structure he created using the proportions of a Fabergé egg; hence we call it The Egg. It occupies the round foundation of the long-gone Luscher Farm silo.
The cottage garden herbaceous perennials and volunteer annuals (the sunflowers are full of American Goldfinches nearly all day, every day) make a mad display at the feet of the clematis through the spring and summer.
C. koreana ‘Fragrans’, ‘Pribaltica’
