Check out the Hanging Nasturtium at the Isabella Gardner Museum
Just like the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC, the hanging nasturtium at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is a sign of spring in Boston! Twenty gloriously bright flowering nasturtium vines are on display in the museum courtyard until mid-April. These striking orange blooms were a special favorite of founder Isabella Stewart Garnder. Make a plan to visit and take in the beauty! Reservations are strongly recommended. Over the following weeks, the museum staff will be sharing a peek behind the scenes at how these remarkable vines are nurtured and installed via their Instagram. Follow along!
