The Gardens in December

Our December gardens are at their best at night, when guests wander through the wonderful Holiday Light displays each evening, enjoying the festive atmosphere. Winter annuals are planted throughout the display gardens; they include pansies, stock, and dianthus. Late-season hummingbird food is available from the grevillea hedge which blooms beside the Gazebo Garden. Our gardeners have to duck to avoid being dive-bombed by hummingbirds protecting their food source. December is a time for renewing soil health throughout all gardens, using compost and organic fertilizers while awaiting the rains that will assure the success of our plantings in the coming year.
