This garden, along with the adjacent Large Peninsula garden, was added by the Aull's in 1929. It features Bottlebrush buckeye shrubs and a border of yellow tulips in spring, changing to daylilies in the summer.
Marie Aull once suggested that Aullwood is more an unending procession of colors and textures than it is a formal garden divided into compartments of space and time. It's form is free-flowing, as if echoing in the sequence of blossoms and foliage the rush of streams and rivers that molded the Miami Valley contours.
"We spent weekends going around the countryside finding flowers to bring home to our garden," Marie recalled. "There are plants here in bloom from late February, with its aconites and witch hazels, until December, when the Christmas roses finally disappear."
