This week we took a beautiful stroll through the Boone County Arboretum with Extension Horticulture Agent Robby Brockman and Arboretum Director Kris Stone. They discussed various trees, shrubs and plants that provide our colorful spring flowers.

Have any spring blooms caught your attention? We'd love to see what's growing in your garden or neighborhood.
