This spring you’ll see more flowers in a single stroll than you can anywhere else. Also, if your interest in flowers turns out to have limits, there’s always art in the IMA Galleries and beer in the Beer Garden. Now open ’til 8 pm Thursday through Saturday— because nature works overtime in spring.
Exotic, traditional, the fresh, the familiar, still life, real life—it’s in the IMA Galleries, The Garden and Fairbanks Park. Hello Spring at Newfields, where a quarter of a million flowers will be arriving in stages through May, including different kinds of tulips you didn’t even know existed. Visit now, before it changes again.
Support provided by Charles Venable and Martin Webb, Total Lawn Care, the Bud Brehob Family, Cathy and Bob Turner and Gene and Patty Wilkins.
Admiring all this art and nature can make a person thirsty.
