Metamorphosis: The Lives of Frogs and Butterflies

April 8 through May 29

Witness the transformation from the white shell of winter to the soft caterpillar greens of spring that emerge into the fluttering blooms of summer. Drift from the "Chilly White" Easter lilies to the "Beauty of Spring" tulips. With the "Changing Color" daffodils, the garden morphs into a vivid tapestry of hyacinths, pansies and hydrangeas of every color.
