Morris Arboretum & Gardens is a paradise for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators in its newest exhibition, Bees, Butterflies & Blooms: A Pollinator Paradise, running through September 30, 2025.
See the miniature trains weave through sculptures of pollinators from around the globe in Garden Railway: World Pollinators, wander through the whimsical pop-up meadow filled with larger-than-life-size butterfly-inspired sculptures by local artists in Wings & Wildflowers, and see if you can spot a hummingbird at the Hummingbird Hut!
Returning floral display Exuberant Blooms bursts with a riot of colors and fragrances, celebrating the variety and splendor of flowering plants. Visitors can almost steep themselves in flora—spread over more than a quarter acre of open garden, the large paisley-shaped floral beds contain more than 8,000 plants with heights ranging from a foot tall to over 10 feet.
There will also be programming all weekend long where you can learn about native and tropical flowers at the Morris, including our pawpaws, North America’s largest native fruit!
