The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s annual Spring Flower Show will wow visitors with the early scents and sights of spring.
The show will feature thousands of plants, including flowering spring bulbs, lush green plants, orchids and tropicals. This year, the Arboretum’s theme will dive into water, drawing inspiration from Minnesota’s lakes, rivers and wetlands and the life they support.
