It’s the last week of spring, and summer is already showing in the Garden. Bright colors, new summer blooms and the warmer weather is making the Garden have a summer vibe everyone can enjoy. Whether it’s the blooming palms, brightly colored rose blooms, daisies or cactus blooms – summer is definitely here! Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog below to find out more and then be sure to book your tickets! And remember, our Summer Kick Off Hunt culminates the first weekend of summer, June 24-26, during which we invite you to wear your best and brightest sun hats to the Garden. Take a picture wearing your sun hat while taking the hunt, post it on Instagram with hashtag #SummerKickOffatSCBG and tag @scbgarden and you’ll be entered to win tickets to our Sunset Series!
