There’s always something blooming in these 55-acre gardens, which cover a world of vegetation from South African savanna to New Zealand cloud forest. The year-round Garden of Fragrance is designed to appeal to the visually impaired, rare Asian magnolias blossom in winter, and the California native-plant section explodes with color when the wildflowers come out in early spring, right off the redwood trail.
In spring and fall, pianos pop up amid the flowers: welcome to Flower Piano, where professional musicians serenade global flora with music from around the world.
