Plant Identification Resources

There are thousands of beautiful, interesting plants at Newfields. How can you sort out what you’re looking at? Try the following resources:

  • Ask someone doing gardening work. If we’re pruning, weeding, or watering, we’ll be able to help you figure out what plant has piqued your interest.
  • Look for a plant label, like the one below. Most plants within seasonal displays will be labeled once within a garden space. Seek them out.
