Theres no more breathtaking signal of summers onset than the blooming of peonies. Stunningly beautiful and relatively easy to grow, peonies are a favorite flower everywhere they can be cultivated and for good reason: the heady fragrances and enchanting colors of a peonyrich display create an immersive experience that has enamored generations of garden lovers across the world. This passion is on full display each June at the historic Peony Garden of the University of Michigans Nichols Arboretum.Originally planted in 1922, the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden now boasts North Americas largest public collection of heirloom herbaceous peonies. The Peony Garden has become a sacred space for the Ann Arbor community, a nottobemissed sensation when it erupts each season, as the Ann Arbor Observer once wrote, in a riot of color, of crimson, rose and shell pink intermingled with fluffy pompoms of creamy white. The rather short period of peak bloomabout two fleeting weeks each yearonly seems to intensify the gardens appeal, drawing thousands of visitors annually to this spectacular living museum on campus that showcases upwards of 10,000 blossoms.Richly illustrated with hundreds of striking color photos, Passion for Peonies collects short essays that celebrate the story of the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden as well as the rich social history of peony gardening that it is an integral part of. Together these pieces comprise a love letter both to a magical public space at the University of Michigan and to the broader history and culture of peony gardening. The book will appeal to readers interested in the University of Michigan, the history of public gardens, and of course peonies!
