Yesterday a friend and I visited the Polly Hill Arboretum, a truly special and beautiful spot here on Martha's Vineyard. Shown above is a Japanese Starwood Dogwood.
Stunning Mountain Laurel
"The Polly Hill Arboretum, a Martha’s Vineyard horticultural and botanical landmark, was developed by the legendary horticulturist, Polly Hill (1907-2007). Here in 1958, Polly began an arboretum by sowing a seed, eventually bringing 20 acres under cultivation while preserving 40 additional acres as native woodland. Established in 1998 as a not-for-profit institution the Arboretum is devoted to the cultivation and study of plants and the preservation of the character and magic of this tranquil landscape."
