Mill Pond Garden Opens for Peak Fall Leaf Color and Fence Art Show

One $18 ticket admits one car with all occupants, either cash only at the gate. No refunds. Rain or Shine. Tickets may be given as a gift.

The ‘Beautiful Delmarva’ themed Fence Art Show will feature donated works by M. Zajic to raise funds for Mill Pond Garden. Zajic is a well-known artist with continuous sales all over the United States. The show and sale include scenes of the Delmarva peninsula, especially the Cape region. His work is in the folk art style that is increasingly in demand and value, with pricing for this show at about half of listed gallery sale prices.

The Garden will be at the peak of its fall color not only for trees chosen for their dazzling fall foliage but also for the colorful camellia blossoms, roses, Angel Trumpets, salvia, along with the abundance of plants covered in colorful berries, orange and red, including evergreen and deciduous hollies, Hawthorne, the rare Witches Broom, crabapples, and a few unusual late fall blooming plants including the Fatsia with white umbels, and the golden flowered Ligularia.  The garden should also be producing shitake mushrooms in the mushroom garden, interesting to see and learn how to do.

Mill Pond Garden hosts abundant numbers and variety of native birds and many other animals since it is designed to attract them as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat Garden. The garden, with frontage on the beautiful Red Mill Pond, has two thousand feet of pathways through designed garden rooms with many water features, design ideas, and plant ideas for local gardeners. The woody plants are labeled with scientific names. A horticulturist is on duty to answer questions.

The Garden is wheelchair accessible with a pusher and welcomes photographs.

There are many YouTube videos, including posts by local radio news stations and the Cape Gazette, on Mill Pond Garden for your further information and enjoyment. Your support is important to the public garden’s survival, as a public, non-profit entity.
