There are many colors brightening up the Garden right now, but we have to say that purple is reigning supreme. From the Jacaranda trees to the Rocky Mountain penstemon or Mexican sage, shades of purple can be seen throughout the Garden. Take a listen to Georgiann Keller to learn more about these beauties and then grab your tickets to see these latest blooms! And don’t forget – our dog walking hours are this Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. So, whether you want to bring your four-legged friend(s) to explore with you, or you prefer to enjoy the Garden’s 87 acres sans dogs, plan accordingly!
