As the weather turns colder, and we all start complaining about heating bills, I thought it might be a good time to remind you of what we will be looking for this summer - a cool spot in the shade!
 |
| It's about ten degrees cooler in the shade of these old trees |
Sometimes you just need a little shade. What better place to sit and cool off than at the Elizabeth Park Shade Garden in West Hartford, CT!
 |
| A soft dirt path for taking a stroll |
 |
| Undergrowth and stone borders provide interest |
 |
| Kousa Dogwood |
 |
| Light colors practically glow in the shade |
 |
| Kousa Dogwood in bloom - Spectacular! |
 |
| An evergreen arch separates the sun and shade gardens |
 |
| Another shade spot. This one would be perfect for a picnic table! |
 |
| Clematis blossoms wilting in the heat of mid-day |
