It doesn't look like they have anything even near modern. Plus my RUSSIAN EASTER is way more yellow than that, maybe theirs was really bleached out by the sun. I also have BOLD TIGER, its a nice 'oldie'.

Cool! I'd never thought to look at it on satellite. You did miss a lot. You gotta go back. : ) If you walk south toward the lake from the new building, you'll see the gardens. Looking at the satellite map, you can see some odd geometric shapes over on the right. That's the grass garden, butterfly garden, iris, and lilies. Way over on the left, you can also see a little circle by a parking lot. That's the rose garden. There's a hosta garden close to the rose garden that doesn't show up because of the trees. Way over east of the lake, there's a conifer garden if you follow the trail far enough. It shows up on the satellite image also. The main path that goes around the lake is wide. The path that branches off from that and goes toward the butterfly garden is narrower and used to be easy to miss but I think there's a sign pointing toward it now. I'll link the map below in case someone else wants to see a bird's eye view. You can zoom in. Here is a link that might be useful: Google satellite of Nathanael Greene/Close Park

Speaking of the northern Earthkind trials, they really could at least let people know why no details have been released. There were six places involved in the trial. Colorado was the farthest west and Minnesota was the furthest north I think. Then there was Iowa and can't remember the rest. There were 3 separate sets of roses Kordes, Earthkind and Northern Earthkind. Not a word has been released. All of my inquires have been directed to Dr. Ziesak and that goes nowhere. It's annoying! Isn't the NYBG kind of warm. On the line of 6b and 7a it's not really my I idea of cold. Cream Veranda is excellent here. I'm loving my new this year Carl Ploberger.

Thank you Sharon for posting this info, I hope that I can go and visit, it sounds like a nice place to go and very informative.
