Join staff each month for an interactive, behind the scenes look at Reiman Gardens. Topic: "Butterfly Wing Plants"

Learn from Assistant Butterfly Wing Curator Anita Westphal about the wide variety of plants selected for display in the Butterfly Wing, from large tropical shade trees to delicious flowers, all the while steering clear of prohibited host plants.

Each month's topic features a mini-tour, interesting facts, and the chance to see many things not typically open to the public. Come each month to learn more about Reiman Gardens and its many plants and butterflies.

Cost is free for members and volunteers with hours in the last two months. Cost is $10 for the general public.

Last fall, our Hort Crew tucked into our beds a record 47,000 bulbs for our most impressive spring display ever. Learn about the process from design through planting to maintenance and tour the gardens with the team who made it happen.
