Early May at the Botanical Gardens

 An early May visit to the Riverbanks Botanical Gardens had a touch of rock n roll!

You can guess who these represent!

Notice the surf board has a shark bite taken out of it!

Answers at the end of the post!


These newly planted gardens will likely be filled in over the next couple of months.

There is a lot of lush green already.

Dotted with pops of color.

Roses are starting to bloom.

Hydrangea too.

What is spring without lilies?

It is always a joy to stroll through here at any time of the year.

If you didn't guess, the inspirations were the Rolling Stones, Prince, Beach Boys and Bruce Springstein. I imagine the sponsors of those areas had creative liberty in their creations. 

If you go, the gardens are located at:
1300 Botanical Parkway
West Columbia, SC
 
Do to the limit capacity brought on my COVID, a booking is required online ahead of going.

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
