Memorial Day Weekend sees the opening of Garden Railway: World Pollinators, featuring a display of pollinators from around the world—including insects and animals—made from natural materials such as bark, leaves, twigs, mosses and acorns, set among charming miniature trains weaving through a landscape teeming with flowers and buzzing with life. Nearby, the Hummingbird Hut offers a chance to get a close-up view of these tiny, iridescent birds as they flit from bloom to bloom, showcasing their delicate grace.

On June 14-15, we celebrate the next 100 years of our Rose Garden with a special Rose Garden Celebration Weekend that focuses on the spectacular beauty of these beloved flowers.

Beginning June 28, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in two new lush meadows planted especially for this exhibition, Morris Pop-Up Meadows. Giant pollinator-inspired art adds a creative touch, with artists presenting works that capture the essence and importance of pollinators in our ecosystem.

And in July, returning floral display Exuberant Blooms bursts with a riot of colors and fragrances, celebrating the variety and splendor of flowering plants.

Throughout the entire season, visitors can enjoy a variety of fun events, from interactive workshops to engaging programs to specialty guided tours, making this exhibition a delightful and eye-opening experience for all ages.
