Taking its inspiration from traditional Southern gardens and centered around an antique olive jar, the Circle Garden has been planted for year-round interest. In winter hellebores bloom, followed by a variety of narcissus, spring-blooming camellias, then azaleas, and in summer hydrangeas are blooming. A delightfully fragrant treat for the nose occurs in late spring when the star jasmine blooms. In autumn, sweeps of goldenrod bloom just before the Japanese maples take on their fall colors. Several benches in the garden offer a shady place to rest away from the sun while enjoying quiet conversations or silent contemplation
