Awaken your senses at the Garden this spring with Bloom! Beginning April 1, the Garden will come alive with new blooms and pollinators a flutter. Throughout this exhibit, we will ask you to tap into your senses, and – ultimately – live in the moment.
The journey will begin in the courtyard with a stunning display that will transform the area into our first photo moment. Guests will then be guided to a variety of areas in the Garden that are newly planted, where the flowers are awakening, and ultimately lead you to the Amphitheater Lawn where we’ve seeded a custom wildflower mix that is expected to begin blooming in May. This colorful and unique display of flora will invite guests to become immersed in the beauty and grounded in the moment with a variety of photo opportunities. As the season continues and new flowers arrive, the experience will continue to Bloom!
Bloom! was created by the Garden team and Mother Nature – you won’t find it anywhere else!

Our accessibility shuttle is available Monday-Friday upon request and runs regularly on the weekends. Also, please note, some areas of the exhibit may have limited access during private events.
