WHAT'S IN BLOOM DISPLAY

When you visit the Arboretum, make our 'What's In Bloom' display your first stop.  It is located under the Shelter in front of the Ag Center.  Each week Master Gardener Volunteers pick 10 plants of interest to put in the vases.  Nearby is a white board that will tell you what each plant is and which garden it is growing in.  Here is this week's selection:
