Late winter early spring can be seen in the flowering fruit trees in the garden. This Quince has brilliant red flowers and is currently in bloom in February.		Late winter rains come to wash the trees clean and give new life. Come enjoy this Silverberry that is continuing to put out new vibrant green foliage. Below a quince of a different color is in bloom.
	On the left is an example of late winter blooming. This is a crinkly leaf dogwood tree that is about to bloom. Be sure to stop in during February to see it in all its splendor.

Junipers in winter display a gray or purple growth as they continue to lay dormant. While plants are in this dormant period we are busy at the garden repotting trees. Since Jan 31, 25 trees have been repotted. Many have changed pots, have had considerable root work done, and are getting ready for Spring.
