There is only one week left of June and it certainly shows here in the Garden. There is an abundance of blooms as well as a large Lego® display throughout the Garden. Come see it for yourself!


Showy Milkweed

Not only were the flowers delightful, but now is the fruits time to shine. It can be seen at the bottom of the Water Conservation Garden.

It's a giant praying mantis! You can see it along the Floral Walk.
