Azalea Garden
New Azalea Garden Takes Shape
Update and photographs by Dow Whiting, Garden Adventures Nursery, Nixa, MO
We installed the "bones" of the Azalea Garden this morning. This included 200 assorted Azaleas of approximately 20 varieties, and 8 trees that included 5 varieties of Japanese Maple, Cornus mas and Hemlock. Tom L. has expressed interest in incorporating some Hostas into the garden before we finish and I am hoping that Katy S. will have some input into the finishing stage as well.....
Please find attached a few photos that I took this morning. Thanks, Dow

In addition, when you see Ruth Arenson please thank her, for her generous donation of funds for the garden's hard scape.
