The Garden is a flutter with the opening of SOAR – Tropical Butterflies at South Coast Botanic Garden. But that’s not the only reason to visit the Garden right now. Our 87 acres are showing off with beautiful new spring blooms. From roses and geraniums to lilac, Sapphire dragon and wisteria, the Garden is alive with bright colors and wonderful smells. Listen to Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog as she guides us through these new blooms, and be sure to get your tickets soon – especially if you’re planning to visit SOAR!
