Flowers Around Storyland In Glen NH White Mountains

Yesterday my family visited Storyland in Glen, NH. Taking the kids to Storyland is a tradition going back a generation or two for many New England families. Storyland is nestled in the White Mountains which makes for a lovely drive to a scenic area. While there, I couldn't resist snapping some shots of the gardens and planters. We saw gardeners at work keeping the grounds beautiful. As far as amusement parks go, Storyland is one of the prettiest I've seen, thanks to their creative gardeners. I thought you'd like to see some of their work.

Below: This plant was used in borders along walkways. I have never seen it before but the leaves look like maple leaves. Anyone know what it is?
