First up, the Conservatory offers a curated selection of classes and events to get you out of the house. From T’ai Chi classes that’ll enhance your balance to Breakfast with the Butterflies for your little green thumbs, to Father’s Day in the Garden, there's something for everyone. Plus, keep an eye out for special plant shows and sales for those who are looking to take full advantage of the green season!

But wait, there's more! The natural beauty of the Conservatory is a stunning backdrop to the Botanical ROOTS Music Fest. This August, the Botanical Conservatory will host this vibrant and well-blended mix of zydeco and Cajun rhythms, reggae, blues and soul music featuring Grammy award winning national artists and dynamic local talents. Can’t wait until August? Jazzworks! returns in July bringing the cool vibes and well-loved sounds of Ty Causey, Phil Schurger and the West Central Quartet. Picture this: lounging in secluded but open terrace garden surrounded by seasonal plantings, with sweet tunes filling the air. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's happening in the heart of the City at the Conservatory.

You can’t talk about the Botanical Conservatory without mentioning the Color in Motion live butterfly showcase exhibit. Beautiful butterflies flying about adding a splash of color to the conservatory’s already vibrant gardens—it’s like walking through a fairy tale.
