A Western New York tradition for many, exhibitgoers will experience fragrant hyacinths, vibrant daffodils, colorful tulips, and more seasonal favorite flowers. With over 20,000 blooming bulbs throughout the conservatory, the sights and scents of spring have arrived early at the Botanical Gardens. The spring flower exhibit gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy spring inside the warm conservatory while the early spring weather remains cool outdoors. The Botanical Gardens encourages visitors to engage their senses and unwind among the beautiful sights and smells.
"Our spring flower exhibit is a longstanding tradition for our community, and we are excited to share tens of thousands of spring flowers set among our tropical paradise. Visiting the Botanical Gardens with loved ones is a great way to experience the amazing power of plants as they transform all around us this spring," President/CEO Erin Grajek said.
