This autumn’s Chrysanthemum display is bringing the coastline inland, with some of the sights of the shore created in chrysanthemums. There will be dolphins diving among the waves, a lighthouse, and a sailboat, all created out of living chrysanthemum plants. Other beds will be planted with grasses, palms, and plants associated with sand dunes, along with chrysanthemums, creating a colorful scene that will have you thinking about salt air and sandy beaches.
NOTE: Peak bloom display will be in late October.
