Event Lawn
Late summer is a splendid time for the Event lawn by the Kay and Douglas Ivester Visitor Center and Ivester Amphitheater. Sometimes home to large exhibition art, this is the Garden's most open play space that lends itself perfectly to weddings and private events.
Chaste Tree

This aromatic shrub of the mint family is produces masses of showy flower spikes that attract butterflies and other pollinators. In warmer climates, it can be trained to grow as a small, single trunk tree or a large shrub.
