Summer is in full swing, and so are the summer blooms here in the Garden. From summer vegetables ripening in our demonstration beds to the hot pink crepe myrtles toward the back of the Garden along Tram Road, the Garden’s summer staples have joined this week’s What’s Blooming. Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below to get more details on what you will find in the Garden this week and then make sure to get your tickets! Remember, if you’re a Garden Member, you do not need advanced reservations Monday through Friday, but you DO need reservations on the weekends. Non-members will need reservations every day of the week.
