Garden Report: Things are blooming at the Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax

Although I had a fantastic vacation, it's always good to return home. Feeling refreshed, I was excited to get back to work, a homecoming even more sweet by the changes in the garden. What a difference 12 days can make! The trees had fluffy pink blossoms on them and the pansies were lifting their cheery yellow heads. Our dove couple has returned to their home in the arbor. Spring has sprung at the Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax.

Stay tuned for updates as things will start to change quickly in the garden!
