Peony Exhibit
May 26-30
A powerful symbol of honor and wealth, the peony is one of China¡¦s most revered plants.

On May 26 & 27, take a peony walk with the Lan Su¡¦s horticulture manager, tour the collection on your own with a peony guide, or follow the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine as they present a tour focusing on medicinal uses of peonies.
Art in the Garden
