"We want to build our collections, so they are meaningful and so we're doing something good to preserve some of these rare plants. But every March, when the chorus of colorful blooms breaks through the frost-hardened soil, the impressive sight is unlike any other." Dale Skaggs, Director of Horticulture, gave an exclusive on our tulips with Southern Living Magazine.

Artist Chris Antemann brings 18th-century dining culture to life with a contemporary twist in “An Occasional Craving,” on view through April 6. Listen as she shares insight into her whimsical porcelain sculptures, inspired by history, with a touch of cheeky innuendo. Her intricate works invite you to explore themes of indulgence, desire, and storytelling through the art of porcelain.

“Dixon's Gardens shine year-round, but Sharp says spring showcases an explosion of tulips. A cutting garden near the Dixon greenhouse serves a dual purpose: Workers get the rotating collection of fresh flowers inside the museum while visitors see a variety of perennials they could grow in their gardens,” said Mark Russell of USA TODAY.
