With the opening of SOAR – Monarch Migration, the host and nectar garden in front of the pavilion (and the plants inside) offer the perfect example of how to plant a butterfly Garden. It’s a must-see area right now, so make sure to get your tickets! Outside of this newly reopened area, there are additional new blooms throughout the Garden’s 87 acres, including cape honeysuckle, clusia fluminensis and geraniums in a variety of beautiful shades. But you’ll also want to look UP as many of the Garden’s trees are a sight to see. Find out more in Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog below!
