It's a "Hellebore-A-Palooza" as Fleur de Lune Garden Welcomes a Donation of Plants
The Fleur de Lune community garden is welcoming an infusion of donated plants from a local gardener. This week, our volunteer gardeners "re-homed" dozens of hellebores
from the landscape of a garden supporter. The mature hellebores - often called "Lenten rose" because of their very early spring blooms - create eye-catching spring blossoms
while tulips and daffodils are still pushing through the soil. These stunning perennials were lovingly removed from a local garden and carefully transplanted where they can live for years with little care - showing off deep green foliage that lasts throughout the year as they thrive in this shady site.
If you want to learn more about hellebores
Read the article "Hellebores - Harbingers of Spring", by MTGC Member Susanne Udvari, in Allegheny West Magazine's Moon Edition Sept/Oct 2026, Page 42.
A WONDERFUL ADDITION
As part of the unfolding evergreen/four season initiative at the Fleur de Lune garden, the woodland back door entrance is getting an upgrade with these hellebores.
Come see the new addition to the garden and stay tuned for the other evergreens coming soon.
If you wish to donate plant material to the community garden
Generous plant donations from local gardeners are most welcome throughout the growing season. Over the years of this enhancement project in the treasured historic landscape of Robin Hill Park, donations have helped fill beds and keep the garden flourishing for pollinators and people.
