Secret Spring Gardens March 6 - 21 10 am to 4 pm daily Olbrich’s Spring Flower Show: Secret Spring Gardens showcases gardens tucked around every corner of a path that winds through an indoor spring oasis filled with flowering bulbs, spring flowers, and blooming tree branches. Olbrich's Spring Show is open daily, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from March 6 through 21. A $2 donation is suggested. Proceeds benefit Olbrich Gardens. Be inspired by different styles of gardens - from a wooded, English garden area to a Mediterranean garden, to a tropical garden, all dotted with blooming spring flowers including daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips. Sit and take in the sights and smells of spring on rustic benches, gaze into a reflecting pool, follow an old stone wall, and discover spring secrets around every corner. Gardens are, by design, places where people gather to be surrounded by plants and the natural world. They are usually placed in the front of a yard, on a roadway median, or around a public building in order to be seen by everyone passing by. But, gardens can also be intimate, secluded places, meant only to be enjoyed by a few people. They are often tucked away in small places, hidden behind hedges and walls, and found down rarely traveled paths. Visit the 2010 Spring Show Behind-the-Scenes page and watch Olbrich's Atrium transform from a bare, empty room into a blooming spring oasis! Select flowers from the show will be available for purchase on Monday, March 22 at 12 pm until supplies last.
