We’ve been talking about it for weeks, but now we want to shout it from the rooftops: The Dorothy and John Bohannon Rose Garden is in FULL BLOOM! This area of the Garden is absolutely stunning right now—perfect for graduation or family photos, a relaxing picnic, or simply a moment to stop and literally smell the roses. While we expect the blooms to last for a few more weeks, don’t wait—come experience this spectacular floral show while it’s at its peak! And if you’re not the biggest fan of roses, don’t worry—there’s so much more to discover in the Rose Garden. Still not convinced? Give Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below a listen to learn more about what’s blooming in the Rose Garden and across our 87 acres.
