Woodland Garden

Show on Garden map

The Elizabeth Scholtz Woodland Garden features an open-air walled garden and an accessible path that meanders through a rolling landscape connecting the Lilac Collection, the Osborne Garden, the Native Flora Garden, and Maple Grove.

The garden was designed as a source of inspiration to urban gardeners, featuring plants that flourish in shady, relatively dry conditions, like ferns, sedges, and may-apples. Modeled after a natural woodland, it includes multiple layers beneath the canopy: smaller trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants of different heights. On-site signage provides visitors with tips and techniques for maintaining their own sustainable and successful city gardens.
