Blooms Of The World Featured At Garden

The Spring Festival of Flowers will be held at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens throughout the month of April. Millions of blooms will welcome spring in a breathtaking explosion of color.Visitors to the garden can enjoy music and special activities, such as garden chats, the photography contest, and spring sleuths.Scheduled events include the Spring Gardening School, Connoisseur Plant Auction, Photography Workshop, Plant Sale, Bonsai Show and Festival of Fashion.This year, the garden is taking the "world" theme a step further. Huntsville's community has been enriched by an influx of foreign cultures, so this year the garden is focusing on those that have had the largest impact by planting their flags in flowers throughout the garden and setting a giant globe at the entrance. To further enhance the international flavor, the Living Art Bonsai Society presents a Bonsai Show, April 23-24, and new for this year, "International Happy Hours"' featuring the culture, music and food of Germany, Japan and Mexico, will be held on April 5, 19 and 26.
