For gardeners who’ve been waiting all winter to see green again, nothing is more welcoming than the sight of early spring flowers! At least 17 varieties of daffodils, jonquils and narcissi accounting for literally thousands of blooms have been planted over the last few years at Windmill Island Gardens. In addition, there will be hellebores, hyacinths, giant snowdrops, Spanish bluebells, forsythia, lilac, anemones, muscari, fritillaria and bleeding heart.

In celebration of these spring wonders, Windmill Island Gardens is offering guided tours of the gardens, hosted by members of the Horticulture staff. Come visit the gardens to see the first of many colorful shows the gardens will offer throughout the season. Enjoy the often overlooked supporting role that early blooming flowers play in the landscape and get inspired for more spring blooms to come.
