SPONSORED CONTENT: Wellesley in Bloom kicked off last weekend and is still alive with a celebration of spring. The town-wide event features floral fun, pop-up experiences, and creative collaborations throughout Wellesley’s shopping areas. The idea simple and fun—Wellesley in Bloom invites everyone to stroll through town and discover unexpected moments of beauty, creativity, and local charm.

We bopped around town over the weekend to enjoy the energy In Bloom brought to town.
