When the inherent beauty of a chrysanthemum meets the talent of our horticultural artists and scientists, the result is unlike anything you could imagine.
Join us for the return of Chrysanthemum Festival and experience a living masterpiece of ever-changing wonder. We stretch our limits—and color outside the lines—by nurturing and training fall’s favorite flower into 66 specialty forms, from baskets to spirals, columns to clouds, that we can’t wait to share with you.
New this year, we give you a behind-the-scenes look with an in-depth exhibit examining the art and science behind Chrysanthemum Festival … and how our artists achieve this horticulturally rigorous (and gorgeous!) display with flying colors.
