This week, the wonder begins at the entrance of the Garden’s parking lot with patches of irises beginning to bloom on either side. These iris patches can be found throughout the Garden and should return year after year, like the ones planted around Memorial Meadow. Listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below to learn more about these and our other newest blooms, then make sure to come see them in person this spring.
