The Gardens

Peony Collection

Thanks to the generosity of the Magnus, Lynch and Benton families who established the peony collection in memory of Lena and Herman Magnus. Initial plantings were installed in the fall 2015. There are nearly 150 different varieties of herbaceous, tree and Itoh peonies on display.
