Branches in Bloom Festival – Rain or Shine!
We look forward to welcoming you to Branches in Bloom, a spring festival celebrating Arbor Day at Planting Fields.
Spring is one of the most magical times at Planting Fields, when magnolias, flowering cherries, and other spring trees are in bloom, transforming the landscape into a vibrant display of color. The festival is centered on the West Lawn near the Main House and offers a chance to explore the gardens at their most spectacular moment of the year.
As we look ahead on the current weather forecast for this weekend guests are welcome to attend on Sunday instead of their originally scheduled day. Should you wish to make this change, we kindly ask that you notify us in advance so we can plan accordingly. Please email us at info@plantingfields.org.
