Photograph by Nathaniel Willson Across Biltmore's property, thousands of spring flowers bloom starting with daffodils, followed by tulips, wisteria, azaleas, rhododendron and roses. Over 22 miles of hiking and biking trails offer a variety of views as spring unfolds, from Mount Pisgah and the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance, to shady areas canopied by exotic bamboo along the French Broad River.
Springtime in Biltmore House
While Biltmore's grounds flourish with new blooms, the estate's floral team has created floral decor inside Biltmore House that reflects the theme of "Spring Romance."
Victorian-era maypoles decorated with ribbon and fresh spring plants offer a cheerful and nostalgic welcome to guests as they enter to tour Biltmore House.
As a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the springtime wedding of Cornelia Vanderbilt (daughter of Biltmore's founders George and Edith Vanderbilt) and John F.A. Cecil in April 1924, Biltmore's floral team has recreated a large wedding bell and floral bouquet display in Biltmore House's Tapestry Gallery. The design is based on the room's 1924 decor for the couple's wedding breakfast.

Included in estate admission, the English version will be available April 15 with versions in Spanish, French, German and Mandarin Chinese available later this spring.
