I happened to be catching up with Ivo by the Stone Mill when one of our groundskeepers rolled by on his way to the next job site. “Have you seen the mountain laurel yet?” he asked. “I’ve never actually seen it in bloom until now. Worth the wait, though.”
We’re all on the look-out for good camera fodder here.

Join us in the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden both today and tomorrow for a long-awaited afternoon spent strolling the paths amid thousands of spring blooms in yellows, pinks, purples, reds, and so much more. The collection positively burst into life over the last couple of days, making a fashionably late entrance just in time for our Rose Garden Celebration!
