In bloom remains one of my all-time favorites. Whenever I see something in bloom around Monticello mountain that I don’t know the name of, I look it up in this database. I not only learn the botanical and common name for the plant, I learn something about its historical connection with Jefferson – I simply love it!

Monticello's gardens are wonderful any time of year, but it's always interesting to see what's currently blooming.

When visitors have questions about current flowers or wonder what a different season looks like at Monticello, I refer them to In Bloom at Monticello. Here a few weeks before the tulips burst upon the stage? Tune in to this site in the next few weeks.

I really love gardens! On this page I can see what's growing and blooming at Monticello, learn a little bit about the plants themselves, their history, and how some of them came to be growing in Jefferson's gardens. I love all the flowers, but my favorites are the Peonies. A few years ago I purchased a young Peony plant from the Monticello garden shop and it bloomed for the first time this year! My peony shares my small deck with Sweet Williams, Nasturtiums, and Johnny Jump-ups, and makes a wonderful place to sip a glass of iced tea and read a book. It's not Jefferson's Garden Pavilion, but it might be close!

This is a good place to direct questions about plant identification, with links to CHP when applicable

This fantastic resource is a boon for gardeners and those interested in plants at Monticello. As someone who has never had a green thumb, I ofter turn to the "In Bloom" page to help answer visitors' questions. Perhaps one day, Jefferson's interest in gardening will spark my own.
