It’s absolutely poppin’ out there! Don’t let the grey skies keep you from a technicolored adventure this weekend.

At the Cleveland Botanical Garden, it’s tulip time!  Yes, there are other things blooming, but I was so inspired by the allee planting, the tulips in the Western Reserve Herb Society Garden, and in the gateway garden, I just couldn’t get enough tulips this week.  Come now- they are at absolute peak!

At the Arboretum, the next round of wildflowers are up.  Find white, red and toadshade trilliums.  Take a trip to the rhododendron gardens, where the early blooming azaleas and rhododendron like PJM are really putting on a strong show. Lilacs are just opening up and should start to fill the air this weekend- don’t’ be afraid to step off the path and sink your nose in the blooms! Finally, the yellow magnolias and the pink saucer magnolias are in peak bloom- look for magnolias scattered around the campus, but they are especially showy in the display garden.
