Spring is here! The Spring Equinox is this Thursday, so it’s the perfect time to visit the Garden. After the recent rains, the plants in the Garden are thriving and really starting to show off their spring blossoms in a wide range of colors – from purples and oranges to yellows and reds. And while the cherry blossoms in the Amphitheater Lawn are no longer blooming, the cherry blossoms in Sakura Meadow are still going strong. And – just in time for the Garden’s Spiked: A Celebration of Agave – the agaves around the Firestone sculpture are all beginning to bloom. Learn what else you’ll find throughout the Garden’s 87 acres in Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog below!
