Best of Rhode Island 2009 Editors' Picks

Jane Roberts and Clint Thompson have a passion for peonies. To that end, the couple grows hundreds, including favorites like fragrant ‘Sarah Bernhardt' as well as new showstoppers like ‘Coral Sunset.' Visits are possible in June, when you can scope out the ones you love best, place your order and expect a package in fall — ideal planting time. Their website has little mug shots to help you keep the beauties straight.
