WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE GARDENS

Unplug and take a walk through our outdoor gardens, comprised of a variety of collections, from dwarf conifers and interesting cactus to stunning iris, lilies and more. 

Make it a Children's Garden summer! Splash around in the mini-Mississippi River, dig in the sandboxes, or read a story while having a picnic in the Storybook Landscapes garden under the mushroom umbrella. 

Watch monarch caterpillars chomp away at milkweed in our lobby, where we will raise monarchs all summer long.

Learn about plants grown in tropical environments in the Sun Garden, where you can surround yourself with plants from around the world.

Say "i do" in the gardens

Host your wedding, reception or bridal party events at the Botanical Center. The gardens offer a unique setting in any season for your special day.
