Perennials (black labels) are those plants which live and bloom from year to year. Although woody plants (shrubs, trees) are technically perennials, this term is generally used to refer to herbaceous plants—those which die back to the ground in winter but whose roots and crowns overwinter.

This garden is a cooperative effort of the Burlington Dept. of Parks and Recreation and the University of Vermont (Dr. Leonard Perry). Appreciation is expressed to the Vermont Assn. of Professional Horticulturists, Burlington Garden Club and Friends of the Garden for funding and support.
