Our annual modern take on Victorian flower carpets, Exuberant Blooms, is even HOTTER this summer with eight beds of bigger, bolder, brighter, and more beautiful flowers!

Spread over more than a quarter acre of open garden, the large paisley-shaped floral “islands” contain more than 10,000 plants with heights ranging from 8 inches to 8 feet. Hot colors dominate this year’s exhibition with a wide variety of annual and tropical plants of vibrant orange, pink, red, and purple flowers all vying for attention. And while there will be new and interesting foliage for visitors to admire, we are also bringing back many of your plant favorites from last year.

The color, shape, and scent of each flower not only catches our gaze but also attracts pollinators—insects and birds in search of the flower’s nectar or pollen, including lots of butterflies and hummingbirds! These animals are called pollinators because they carry pollen from the male part of the flower (stamen) to the female part of the same or
another flower (stigma).
