The Garden is an assortment of color and blooms this week! This week, Georgiann Keller highlights the Dorothy and John Bohannon Rose Garden. Despite its name, this area of the Garden has more than just roses. From tall tropical canna to delicate crepe myrtle, the Rose Garden has beautiful flowers that complement the roses with additional shapes, colors and texture. Listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog while you scroll through the pictures below to learn more about these blooms and more, then invite a friend to see these blooms in person.
