Public Butterfly Release<\/strong>

Painted Lady caterpillars will change into adult butterflies in days or weeks, depending on temperature. Celebrate the flight of the butterfly as members of the public release their hatchlings into the Conservatory’s indoor Tropical Garden. Butterfly advice from Conservatory staff and free refreshments will be available during each release. Kits may also be available in the Conservatory gift shop during the month of March, for those who missed the Home & Garden Show. Regular Conservatory admission applies.

\nInternationally-known local artist Sayaka Ganz will describe the process she used to develop and create the fascinating ocean-themed pieces on display at the Botanical Conservatory now through April 5.

Family Garden Close-Up: Sea Creature Creations<\/strong>
\nMarch 28, 11am – 1pm<\/em>
\nVisit the Botanical Conservatory this spring on the fourth Saturday each month to get a closer look at our plants and gardens through short walks, crafts, and snacks. We will visit one of our gardens to discover a different feature so you get to see what the Conservatory has to offer and learn fun and valuable information. FGC is especially fun for young learners. The activities are included in your regular Conservatory admission fee (members and volunteers admitted free). Put your sea legs on for this up-close-and-personal look at life underwater in March. Both plants (kelp, coral and seaweed) and animals (fish, dolphins and whales) alike live in an underwater environment. We’ll take a closer look at each of these all while making our own sea creation to compliment the “Changing Tides” exhibit. Free with regular Conservatory admission: $5\/adult, $3\/child age 3-17; children age 2 and under free. For more info call (260) 427-6440.<\/p>\n

\nEver wonder how much water you’re supposed to give a particular plant or why you struggle to keep some plants alive? Maybe you just want to know the name of a plant as you visit the Botanical Conservatory. The Conservatory’s horticulturist, Andy Force, will demonstrate garden practices and answer your garden related questions in a special drop-in hour once a month. Stop by and “ask a horticulturist!” In March, Andy will discuss pruning, but he’ll also entertain garden questions from the public. Regular Conservatory admission fee applies. For more information, call (260) 427-6440.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Changing Tides” Winter Garden Exhibit<\/strong>
\nThrough April 5<\/em>
\nThe Botanical Conservatory presents a collaborative venture pairing the work of internationally-known artist Sayaka Ganz with the form and color of our Showcase Garden to create an imaginative seascape. Ganz’s work, formed of cast-off plastics, gives new purpose and meaning to household and industrial waste as the artist transforms them into colorful and lifelike sculptures of jellyfish, kelp, dolphins, whale, fish, and coral reef. Ganz’s ingenuity always amazes, and the tropical plants and winter bloomers that populate the “sea floor” garden are a pleasure to experience in the cold months. Hallway displays encourage visitors to recycle and to see the potential in trash at the “art lab.” Guests can leave responses to Ganz’s artwork on an interactive chalkboard or in video comment. The exhibit is sponsored by the Auer Foundation, Magee-O’Connor Foundation, Wilson Foundation, Arts United, Artlink, City of Fort Wayne Solid Waste, Allen County Solid Waste, IPFW, the University of St. Francis School of Creative Arts, Cancer Services of Allen County, WAJI 95.1 Best FM and WLDE Fun 101.7.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
