The Garden is alive with yellow, orange and pink blooms! Thanks to the rains and sudden warm weather, the cherry blossoms in the Amphitheater Lawn are returning a little earlier than usual and the daffodils we have planted are also beginning to pop up. Make sure to listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog while you scroll through the pictures below to learn more about what’s blooming this week. Then pack a picnic and come see what’s blooming in person! And don’t forget – our Lunar New Year Celebration is taking place every weekend in February. Given this event, we expect the Garden to be busy on the weekends and highly encourage those who wish to visit to get their tickets in advance!
