Summer kicks off this week with the solstice on Friday! Come enjoy the warm weather and the beautiful early summer blooms in the Garden today! Bright orange, pink, purple and yellow blooms are popping up throughout the 87 acres. From sunflowers and lantana to cosmos, fuschias and feverfew, there are many beautiful flowers in the Garden right now, many of which are attracting stunning pollinators! Discover what all the buzz is about in Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below, and then be sure to come see these in person. And if you come on the weekend, be sure to stop by Dottie’s at the Koi Pond + Bamboo Bar to grab a nice cold cocktail or mocktail to enjoy on your summer visit!
