While summer may still be a few weeks away, the Garden is bursting with vibrant colors. Shades of pink, red, purple, yellow and orange are painting the landscape, creating a breathtaking preview of the season ahead. And with temperatures rising, even more blooms are on their way. But if you see nothing else, make sure you don’t miss the Dorothy and John Bohannon Rose Garden—now in full, spectacular bloom. It’s a sight you won’t want to miss.
