Morning Eye Candy: Spotlight on Tradition

Posted in Photography on November 9 2015, by Matt Newman

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!

Morning Eye Candy: A Million Daffodils

Posted in Photography on November 5 2015, by Matt Newman

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.

Morning Eye Candy: Calaveras & Calabazas

Posted in Photography on October 26 2015, by Lansing Moore

We’re thrilled to present this year’s eagerly anticipated Giant Pumpkin Carving! Ray Villafane has outdone himself with this spooky and monumental homage to the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) as a nod to FRIDA KAHLO: Art, Garden, Life. The design is based on an early 20th-century satirical cartoon by the famous Mexican printmaker and illustrator Jose Guadalupe Posada. See it in person at the Clay Family Picnic Pavilions, alongside our annual Giant Pumpkin Display, through November 1!
