Exuberant Blooms

The Morris reaches new heights in Exuberant Blooms, where reclaimed wood is transformed into bold, elevated structures alive with texture and color.

This year’s display weaves vibrant seasonal plantings with striking architectural elements created from wood reclaimed through our own arboricultural work—giving pruned limbs a thoughtful second life in the garden. Shaped into striking arches, trellises, and sculptural forms, these natural structures add height and movement, inviting you to explore nature in new ways and celebrating the beauty of responsible stewardship while adding structure and story to the landscape. Vines climb overhead, birds find places to rest, and in some areas, you can wander beneath and around these structures.

Surrounding these forms is the lush mix of tropical foliage and vibrant seasonal blooms that defines Exuberant Blooms. True to the spirit of the garden, more than 10,000 annuals burst into bloom, creating the richly layered spectacle inspired by classic Victorian displays. Bold plants like palms, eucalyptus, and bromeliads pair with bright favorites such as salvias, cupheas, and angelonia to create an immersive summer garden filled with color at every turn.

Abundance, sustainability, and horticultural excellence come together in Exuberant Blooms this year, offering a garden that delights the senses while reflecting the best practices of a modern public garden committed to caring for its plants, its resources, and its future.
