Our own Maggie M. volunteers there and arranged the tour for us then led half the group. Her docent friend Judy Broom led the rest of us.
It was a beautiful day and I'll just post the pictures here with captions if I can remember the names.
Drat! I should have posted sooner, because some names are escaping me now.
So please comment if you know the names. Many of these plants are East Coast plants that the Dunn family had the Olmsteds use in the design of the garden.
