Each part of the Asian Collections evokes a different mood. The Camellia Collection is in full splendor in mid-Autumn with the blooming of cold hardy camellias. Witchhazels and Japanese apricots bloom on the open vistas on the north side of Hickey Hill in late winter. The Japanese Woodland is a place of subdued shade that invites you to explore the details of bark, leaves, texture, and flowers of woodland plants. Asian Valley offers dramatic views, bog primulas that bloom in spring, and the rare dove tree. China Valley is more open; the winding path passes through a paradise of plants. The Korean Hillside located near the top of Hickey Hill is set against a backdrop of white pines. There is always something new to discover no matter how often you visit.
