Today we went to Cantigny Gardens in Wheaton to check out the gardens there. They have and "Idea Garden" and a formal garden that we walked through. The Idea Garden had some interesting plant pairings and some plants that caught the eye. There was one that we saw on the way home when we dropped by Platt Hill Nursey, which we picked up and will try to find a place for. It will get about 3 feet tall and about as much around when it grows up. This will be a challenge to find an appropriate site for the plant, but it will be fun when it fills out. We spent about two hours walking around, getting ideas for the yard. They have some great trees there. One tree, right next to the McCormick House, is reported to be over 300 years old. It is magnificent. I took some pictures of flowers and plants that looked interesting, and I took a couple of little movies of fountains to show Henry when he comes home.
