The park is resting
The first hard frost closed the 2026 season on October 24. Underneath the rest, November planting for next spring has already begun — the park reopens in spring 2027.
“A place created for people who need a gentle escape.”
Evenings at Hues — music, string lights, and buckets full of dahlias.

Spring doesn’t start in spring. It starts now.

Seed starting, cool and slow
