It’s a new month, and with it comes new blooms and new experiences to be had in the Garden. The Garden is a colorful menagerie, not just because of the topiaries throughout, but because the wide variety of blooms! The Upper Meadow is a can’t-miss location this week. Though it was redesigned a few months ago, some of those new plants are just now filling in and blooming brightly. And on the opposite side of the Garden, you won’t want to miss the red violet bougainvillea that’s growing into the palm tree – it almost looks like a pineapple! Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog below to find out more. And don’t forget, with June also comes our new Summer Kick Off Hunt!
