What’s in Bloom – June 5, 2023

What's In Bloom

This week, a rainbow of columbine blooms are opening up all across the gardens! Watch for false indigo, peony, and iris cultivars to look especially fantastic. A location of particular interest is the seating beneath the trellises of the Arbor Garden, behind which shrubs of lilac, rose, and weigela are reaching full bloom.
