Fellows Riverside Gardens is a free public garden located in Youngstown, Ohio's Mill Creek Park. It covers 12 acres, and includes an assortment of gardens. It is probably best known for its variety of roses. Three of its gardens are dedicated to roses: The Formal Rose Garden, Climbing Rose Allee, and the Rose Garden Terrace. If you wish to see these gardens in full bloom, the best time to go is in June.
Other gardens include the Blue Garden, the shade garden, and the perenial border walk.
If you visit the gardens in the spring, you'll absolutely love all of the spring flowers. The grounds are planted with 40,000 spring bulbs. You'll see crocus, tulips, narcissus, and other colorful blooms.
The gardens are open year-round from dawn to dusk.
With the heat, think I'd aim for a spring visit.

DeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteAt this time of the year, yes, even in England, a shade garden sounds like a plan.
Have a peaceful weekend.

I like shade gardens in the summer, too. With water features!
