It’s Poppin’: April 3

April 3, 2025

Things are poppin’! Here’s a quick roundup of the highlights this week!

At the garden, magnolias, cherries and daffodils are all at peak. Look for the following:

At the Arboretum, one of my favorites, the Korean rhododendron is blooming. Look for it in the Layer Rhododendron Garden and by the Picnic Shelter. Hellebores are at peak, look for them on Squirrel Ridge, and finally, the early magnolias are starting to bloom.

Moderate temperatures and rains have things poppin’. Come see the blooms – even on a cloudy day. The colors really pop!
