About: This shady, winding path was created in 2009 with plants generously donated by Pender Nursery, Brent & Beck’y Bulbs, and Flowerwood Nursery. More than 130 different azaleas grow along the walkway, and by the second week in April, the path is awash in ruby red, purple, and pink. Winding its way around the Slane Center, this garden offers a colorful contrast to the neighboring ponds and splashing fountains. The section behind Slane has colorful late fall-blooming perennials, while the section behind Blessing Hall features spring blooming trees and shrubs.
