The Peel Compton Foundation

WELCOME!

to The Peel Compton Foundation

The strength and diversity of The Peel Compton Foundation lies in its appeal to two differing audiences – those who feel a great tug at their roots in the historical character of The Peel Mansion & Heritage Gardens and the nature-lovers and gardeners among us who value the “green” message of the late environmentalist Dr. Neil Compton as embodied in the Compton Gardens and Conference Center.

Both facilities are valued for their commitment to historic and environmental preservation. Whether touring either facility or renting the space to create unique memories, the two hold sway over the imaginations of those attending an event there. Corporate and non-profits equally enjoy the ambiance present at either location.

What's in Bloom?

Admin Peel Compton - Thursday, February 19, 2015

Leatherwood (Dirca palustris) - Leatherwood is a slow growing shrub that can grow four to seven feet tall and three to five feet wide. The bark is smooth with the old bark gray in color and year old bark in light brown. The shrub blooms yellow tubular flowers before the leaves appear. The leaves are slightly thick with an oval shape and green with a slightly hairy underside. The berries ripen in May and are quickly eaten by birds. The bark and twigs are extremely flexible, and can be tied into knots without breaking. The bark is and was used to make baskets for weaving. (read more...)
