The Special Collections provide additional year-round destinations in the gardens. The Shade Border displays wildflowers and shade-loving plants in early spring and invites cool, sun-free strolling during the hot summer months. A garden room with spectacular views, the Elliptical Garden uses patterned stonework and formal proportions in the tradition of a parterre with a non-traditional palette of plants native to the northeastern United States. The Lilac Border's suberb display of fragrant and colorful flowers peaks in April and May. Viburnums and other shrubs in the Viburnum Bed flower in the spring and feature showy berries in the fall. Throughout the winter months, cone-bearing trees on the Conifer Slope attract attention with a tapestry of textures and colors.
