Whether you’re coming to see the butterflies in SOAR, the animals in Flamboyance (animal topiaries, that is) or the Garden’s newest blooms, there’s much to see and do in our 87 acres right now. Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog to find out what new blooms will greet you this week – and they will quite literally welcome you right into the Garden! To top it off, for Mother’s Day this Sunday, our Pop-up Refreshment Station will be open in the Dorothy and Allen Lay Staghorn Fern Collection from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Visitors can purchase beer, wine and signature cocktails here, as well as “The Bonne Maman Box” which feeds two people comfortably and includes tea sandwiches, fruit salad, macarons and scones. If you’re interested in reserving “The Bonne Maman Box” or charcuterie in advance, email patricia@scbgf.org by May 6.
