You haven’t seen Biltmore until you’ve seen it in the spring. Biltmore’s gardens – designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted – come to life with wave after wave of gorgeous blooms.
Biltmore visitors will be able to enjoy stunning floral displays through May 25, 2015. The gardens and grounds are awash in beautiful color.
Please visit www.biltmore.com/events for additional information on the various events taking place daily at Biltmore.
Here is the latest bloom report directly from the Director of Horticulture, Parker Andes.
“The gardens and grounds are definitely full of spring color. Each year, the gardeners add more early season flowers, and it shows. With normal cooler temperatures this week through the weekend, individual blooms will last a good long while. Flowering cherry trees and deciduous magnolia trees will bring the color up off the ground and add a spring feel to the estate drives.”
