Fall Flower Days
October 1 - November 16
Garvan Woodland Gardens horticulture crew and volunteers have been working tirelessly to plant over 8,000 mums in a rainbow of colors. The blooms are just beginning to open, and will last for weeks, as these plants really love to show off! With the addition of hundreds of asters, pansies, violas, million bells and petunias, plus the dramatic foliage of ornamental chard and mustards, it's easy to see why Garvan Woodland Gardens is ranked as one of the top five botanical gardens in America!
