Secret Garden

Parking lot located west of the garden.  Begin at the split rail fence opening nearest to the green fire hydrant.

1.  Follow the _oo_ _ _ _ _ path northeast to the fork in the path.
2.  Take the right _o_ _.
3.  On the left you will find "_ _ _ _ _ _ _   _ _ o _ _" (clue: grassy fire), and "_ _ o _ _  _ _ _ _"  (clue: fish flower).
4.  Two _ o _ benches on the left.
5.  Follow to the next fork and turn left.
6.  S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  patches on both sides of trail will tell you that you're on the way.
7.  Next you'll find a spot to rest with two benches made of peculiar angles.
8.  Continue on in an easterly fashion to find a large _ o _ _ _ _  stump.
9.  Now turn left to view the _ o _ _ , if it's dry it may be gone!
10.  Due north of the pond you'll surely see "Helianthus Gigantus" or GIANT _ _ _ _ O _ _ _ _ .
11.  Continue west to see the trellis adorned with Clematis _ _ o _ _ _ _  .
12.  Turn southwardly, make a sharp left turn.  _ _ _ _ _  CABBAGE marks the path you yearn.
13.  Walk along past the benches and next you'll find two white pines.  Look down and in between find _ _ _ _  in the Pulpit.
14.  Now look _ o _  and right and you will see the branch hold the "SECRET" you seek.
