We know there is a lot to do in the Garden right now with SOAR – Tropical Butterflies open, Bamboozled: An Unexpected Bamboo Adventure on display and the Sunset Series just kicking off last week, but the one thing that you just can’t miss on your next visit is our blooms. There are many bright and beautiful early summer blooms appearing, like cosmos, purple top vervain and begonias. The Dorothy and John Bohannon Rose Garden continues to peak, and dozens of agaves throughout the Garden’s 87 acres have stunning spikes right now. Learn more about what you’ll see on your next visit in Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below! Then make sure to grab your tickets to see them in person.
