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.
Here is the latest report directly from Biltmore’s Director of Horticulture, Parker Andes. You can expect to see the following blooms through the end of April 16.
“The tulips are taking center stage in the beds. Along the drives and garden walks, deciduous trees are beginning to leaf out and the color is shifting from early cherry trees and forsythia shrubs to redbuds, dogwoods and an array of viburnums.”
