Flower Garden Poppies in Bloom

As the Flower Garden settles into its stride, a quiet transformation is underway. This week, the poppies have come into bloom - delicate, brilliant, and utterly captivating.

Growing in the corner of the flower garden near the Peach House, these flowers play their own quiet role - attracting pollinators, enriching the visual tapestry of the garden, and reminding us of the importance of beauty in a working landscape. Their fleeting appearance is all the more precious for its brevity.

Whether you're pausing on your walk or simply stopping to admire the view, take a moment this week to notice the poppies. It's a gentle nudge to slow down, look closely, and enjoy the ephemeral moments in the garden.
