This week’s What’s Blooming is definitely a summer vibe with bright fuchsias, tropical flowers and a variety of plants in our Desert Garden now in bloom. Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog below to learn more. And if you come to see these summer blooms during the week, make sure to join the Garden’s latest programming, Shady Tours, which take place Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and again from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. The tour is included in your Garden admission ticket and is an incredible addition to seeing the Garden’s latest blooms!
