Flowers are blooming everywhere in the Garden this week. From the pink trumpet trees in the parking lot to the bearded irises near Memorial Meadow and all the wonderful roses in the Dorothy and John Bohannon Rose Garden, there is something blooming around every corner. Make sure to listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below to learn more about whats blooming in the Garden. Invite a friend out on the weekend to grab a drink and come see these flowers in person. And yes, you read that right! Dottie’s Koi Pond Menu is now available Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
