The downpour of rain over the past few days may have kept some away but there’s plenty to come see! This week Georgiann Keller highlights plants that you’ll probably smell before you see. The French lavendar, sweet olive and pink jasmine are wonderfully fragrant flowers. Make sure to listen to the audio blog below while you scroll through the pictures to learn more about each flower and their location in the Garden. Then invite a friend and come smell these flowers in person! And remember, if you come on a weekend during out Lunar New Year Celebration, advance tickets are recommended!
