🎶 You spin me right round, baby, right round… 🌿🌀😂

12 Trolls. One Garden. And they won’t be here forever. 🧌🌲

Thomas Dambo’s larger-than-life Trolls have made themselves at home throughout the Garden, each with their own story, personality and place in the landscape. But soon, they’ll be moving on.

Whether you’ve already trekked the Garden to find them all or haven’t met a single Troll yet, now’s the time to make your move. 👀

Come say hello before we say goodbye. The Trolls depart October 4! 🧌💚

🎶 A little bit of this, a little bit of that… 🍹

The hardest decision at the Garden? Picking just ONE drink at Dottie’s. 😅

So go ahead… try 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! (OK, maybe just 2 😉)

Make your weekend wander a little more refreshing and stop by Dottie’s at the Koi Pond, open 10:30 a.m.–4 p.m. Cheers! 🌿🍹
