With azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias, Korean dogwood, and a few lingering cherries in bloom, we are entering the most colorful time of the year—just in time for the throngs of gardening enthusiasts arriving at our Annual Plant Sale. Our gardeners predict the wisteria arbor will be in full flower within 3 weeks, and the iris beds may bloom as early as mid-May this year.
