The winter solstice is this Saturday, December 21, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year. While the days may be growing darker, the Garden remains full of life with plants that continue to bloom and brighten the season. Two standout blooms are bringing a little extra warmth right now with their cheerful yellow and vibrant red hues. To learn more about these seasonal blooms, check out Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below. Then, bundle up in your coziest sweater, grab a warm drink and come experience these winter blooms in person!
