Horticulture exhibits, located in the Educational and Horticultural Wing, rotate each season. Groups can also visit the Butterfly Atrium, an immersive butterfly experience, and the Hoop House, a greenhouse featuring radishes, peppers, and other vegetables. Flower shows occur throughout the year.

FUN FACTS

The diverse world of plants is perhaps the weirdest, and most fascinating, of all living things. Bamboo can grow over three feet in one day (you can literally watch it grow). There are 600 species of carnivorous plants, which trap and digest insects, frogs, or small birds (if a vegetarian eats this plant, are they still a vegetarian?). The world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, can grow up to three feet in diameter (how big would a bouquet be…). Do a little digging on your next trip to a botanical garden (not literally!), and see what interesting plant facts you can find.
