Chinese Tree Peonies in Bloom at Cricket Hill

If you want to see Chinese tree peonies, fly to China or visit Thomaston, CT. David and Kasha Furman have a luscious garden in Thomaston with a collection of 300 varieties of Chinese tree peonies that are blooming now. The garden is open to the public from 10-4 Tuesday through Saturday. This is truly a Connecticut treasure!

Every week, for a period of about 5 weeks, there will be different peonies in bloom. See these large, silky flowers and understand why the tree peony is China’s national flower for more than 1400 years. Hand-painted umbrellas shelter exquisite blooms on seven acres in a terraced, woodland setting.

Find directions and more information at their website.
