This week started with rain and our plants soaked it all in. We have some surprise cosmos popping up in the Pollination Garden, a sea of narcissus in the Amphitheater Lawn and some new, colorful plantings around one of our Hide and Seek sculptures, One 0n One by Richard Artschager. Make sure to listen to the audio blog while you scroll throug the pictures below, then grab a coat and invite a friend to come see these blooms in person!
