It’s the First Day of Summer and we are so grateful that the sun has finally decided to come out. The Garden only continues to impress with more and more blooms. Scroll through the pictures below while you listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog to learn more about what’s blooming. Then put on your sunglasses and bring a friend to explore the Garden and see them in person. And if you’re here on the weekend, make sure to stop at Dottie’s for some refreshments after a day in the sun. Dottie’s is open Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
