There’s a flurry of activity in the Haupt Conservatory right now as we set up shop for the 24th annual Holiday Train Show, our biggest ever! Working day in, day out, our horticulturists and the artistic geniuses from Paul Busse’s Applied Imagination are creating an incredible landscape in miniature for the exhibition’s grand opening on November 21.

With the unseasonably warm fall we’ve been having, the Japanese chrysanthemums on display in the Bourke-Sullivan Display House of the Nolen Greenhouses are content to stretch out their bloom schedule. Naturally, we’re all for it—Kiku: Spotlight on Tradition has been extended through November 29!

This year’s Japanese chrysanthemum exhibition takes place in the Bourke-Sullivan Display House of our famed Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections. And after so many months of effort on the part of our horticulturists to bring this incredible display to life, it’s worth visiting!

We’re just beginning our Million Daffodil initiative this week! With the use of a specialized machine that allows to plant up to thousands of bulbs per hour, we’re well on our way to reaching our goal of planting 150,000 in November. And that’s just for this fall—over the next few years, we’ll continue to plant daffodils on and around Daffodil Hill until we’ve reached a total of one million!
Learn more about the initiative and how you can help here.
