Enough
of the winter already! The snow at Memorial's Botanical Garden is slowly
receding, allowing the alpine plants in the cold house to come to life.
Here Tim Walsh, a nursery manager who has been with the garden for 13
years, holds a saxifraga, a species of alpine plant. This plant and the
others buried under the snow will all survive, and will go on to be featured
in the Alpine House, an interesting display of some of the hundreds of
alpine plants at the Botanical Garden. Designed by nature for very short
growing seasons, alpines are very hardy and are the first plants to get
going in the spring. The Botanical Garden will open its gates on May 1.
