Ever wonder how these stunningly sculptural Japanese chrysanthemums are grown? 🌼✨

Take a quick trip to our Nolen Greenhouses for a peek into the complex process of creating kiku, which our horticulturists spend 11 months out of the year training into fantastical shapes, like mountains, waterfalls, and bonsai. Can you believe all of those flowers emerged from a SINGLE plant stem?

This is the LAST weekend to catch our kiku before the display closes, so see it for yourself by this Sunday!
