5/2/18 Lenten Rose
I’m a frequent visitor to Center Park on my walks through Carlisle Center and delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to the park website: www.carlislecenterpark.org. My goals as webmaster are to make this blog a resource for current information about Center Park, with posts noting what’s in flower as the seasons change, photos, and reports on events at Center Park. I’ll update the Plant List soon.
The following is excerpted from Center Park coordinator Sabrina Perry’s May 4th Letter to the Editor in the Mosquito, which vividly captures the first signs of spring…
Center Park has begun to bloom! Hellebores (Lenten Roses) add beauty along both sides of the lawn. The Island: bright yellow daffodils, tiny periwinkle Scilla, and shoots of Solomon’s Seal about 2” high now beckon marching like a school band across the length of the Island. The vinca ground cover is dotted with violet-blue flowers, adding color harmony to the parking area too.
Center Park was not spared the ravages of the March nor’easters; professional tree trimming is in progress as well as other spring maintenance.
Carlisle Center Park invites you to visit and celebrate the wonders of spring!
We welcome your comments & questions about the website and Center Park.
