Orchids Galore! Now–March 31 A Million Blooms March 30–June 2
2013 Gardening Resolution Enjoy my garden, sometimes on my bench vs. always on my knees.
“A Natural Love Affair” is more than the Garden’s 2013 theme: it’s your opportunity to explore nature through the lens of beauty, education and entertainment, all year long! Now through the end of March, Orchids Galore! brightens the Conservatory with a rainbow of glorious colors—certain to diminish any trace of winter blues. Then, as the weather warms, A Million Blooms bursts forth with a splendid succession of colorful blooms and flowering trees that magnificently transform the Garden landscape just in time for spring.

Come often with family and friends, as there’s something different to see, different to do, each and every visit. Before long you, too, will get caught up in your own natural love affair!
