Spring into New ...

The newness—and beauty—of spring beckons throughout our Gardens this season. It’s our first with our stunning Bonsai Courtyard, gorgeous new outdoor landscapes, and redesigned Idea Garden … making this a season of fresh beginnings like never before.

New is in bloom.

Spring is a popular time to visit. Throughout Spring Blooms Members require timed reservations Wednesday through Monday (closed Tuesday) from open to close. Gardens Premium Members and Innovators do not require reservations.
