Spring has sprung and Reiman Gardens is preparing for May flowers after many cold winter months.

Flowers will soon be in bloom, and the trees have already begun to bud, said Nick Howell, superintendent of the gardens. He said most plants and trees survived the harsh winter weather.

“We lost a few of the newer trees and there was damage to the walkways,” he said. But, he said, things are a little behind schedule due to this month’s weather.

“The recent snow we had earlier this month didn’t hurt anything. However, the cooler temperatures have slowed down the budding process and there is a decline in flowering, but the bulbs are fine,” Howell said.

Howell said there would be some cleaning up to do since the winter took a toll on the gardens.

“This spring and summer we will be cleaning up mostly the damage done from winter and putting things back together,” Howell said.

Plans for summer include a display of annuals, which Howell said is going to be “very colorful.” In addition, the vegetable garden will be improved this year, he said.

Visitors this spring will find new additions to Reiman Gardens.

“We will be building permanent bike racks this summer for our visitors, and there will be further development on maintenance of the garden,” Howell said.

Along with keeping the gardens in good maintenance and welcoming visitors, workshops will also be taking place at Reiman Gardens this spring and summer.

There will be a children’s workshop for ages 3 to 10, which will be held Sunday, April 27, from 2 p.m. to 4 p. m.
