About the David T. Beals III Woodland & Stream Garden

The David T. Beals III Woodland & Stream Garden is a shady respite featuring a bubbling brook, three overlook decks, and plenty of native perennials.

The David T. Beals III Woodland & Stream Garden is home to plants that thrive in shade. Its most popular display includes masses of hardy azaleas and rhododendrons. Cross over bridges above flowing streams for views of shade-loving perennials including astilbes, bleeding hearts, and woodland phlox. Visitors can view these beautiful plantings from the Carl and Jean Chinnery Lower Deck Garden or the Natalie Prussing Upper Deck Garden which feature secluded woodland seating and peaceful respite.

In early spring, snowdrops, daffodils, and winter aconite cover the garden. To escape the heat of summer, wander up a winding path to a deck overlooking a pool draped with ferns and heucheras. Log planters display tropical plants from our collections houses. In the fall, take a detour via the lower mulch path to see the splendid fall color of sourwoods and serviceberries.
