Spring is here at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.

Many daffodil varieties, including ‘Miss Grace’, ‘Pineapple Prince’, and ‘Lemon Glow’, are blooming in the Flagler Garden. Weeping cherries are in flower; crocus are up; some varieties of iris are in all their glory; and trees such as Saucer and Galaxy magnolia as well as Red Buds are in wonderful color. Visit the Conservatory for dazzling displays including Easter Lilies and Hydrangeas.

And this is only the beginning—this Saturday we start Million Blooms at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. A Million Bloom is our celebration of spring featuring a succession of beautiful blooms from now through June 1. We’ll be blogging a lot about what’s in bloom to keep you up-to-date.

This weekend we have family activities—Peter Rabbit will be here in person (or is it in rabbit?) Bring the kids and camera to take a family photo; enjoy storytelling and a performance by the Richmond Concert Band (storytelling and concert Saturday only). Learn more about Easter Weekend (March 22 & 23) activities at the Garden.
