Wegerzyn Gardens is simply an inspiration! It is also one of my very favorite parks in Dayton so far. One of the Five Rivers Metroparks it has everything from a Children's Discovery garden, an arbor garden, Victorian, English and Federal gardens, woodland shade gardens, perennial garden and a woodland walk through swamp forest on the Marie Aull Nature trail. The Dayton Playhouse is also on the grounds.
This particular picture is in the English garden area. A great example of the trend in mixing edible crops; lettuces and greens along side boxwood and flowers. Love the elevated planter of flowers.
So many wonderful ideas and plantings and the staff on the grounds is knowledgeable and friendly and willing to answer questions. Just a wonderful park to explore, sit in one of the many benches and enjoy the flowers and discover a new plant variety. Next post will be all about the children's discovery garden- which is not just for kids!
