Opened in 2007, the Maze Garden encourages wandering and exploration and sets a new standard in maze design. The unique and innovative space lures visitors to choose between two living puzzles, one specially designed for small children that can be viewed from a lookout tower and another with more dead ends for older explorers. Get lost among the interlocking pathways lined with evergreens, deciduous shrubs, lattice, bamboo, fabric walls and doorways.
Garden Plants
This collection of more than 1,600 shrub specimens, contains 11 genera and 14 species and cultivars and is nestled into the Pine Collection across from a collection of linden trees. The plants in this garden are informally maintained rather than tightly clipped and the deciduous plants are grouped for density.
