Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

Spring is on the horizon, and nearly one million blooms are preparing to burst across the Memphis Botanic Garden for their new exhibition BLOOM: A Million Shades of Spring. The exhibition will run March through May with a full slate of public programming tied in.

From weekly family-friendly days and after-hours evenings among the tulips to garden parties, plant workshops, tours, and hands-on classes, BLOOM programming invites visitors to experience spring in motion, returning often, staying longer, and discovering something new with each visit.

Don't Miss These Events:

BLOOM Saturdays | every Saturday | March-May | 10 am-4 pm: Each Saturday offers something different, from cultural celebrations and live music to storytelling, dance, and special guest appearances. Guests are encouraged to come for an hour or stay all day—no two Saturdays are ever the same.

Food Truck Garden Parties | April 8, May 13, June 10, September 9, October 14, 2026 | 5-8 pm: Select evenings April–October featuring live music, lawn games, food trucks, a full bar, and dog-friendly vibes. Free with Garden admission.
Petals & Parasols | May 3 | 1-5 pm: A Regency-inspired afternoon garden party featuring floral fashion installations, styled tablescapes by local garden clubs, live music, hands-on children’s activities, and visitor voting for favorite designs. Free with Garden admission.

There are three chapters to the story.

Cherry Blossoms
Tulips
Southern Delights

Cherry Blossoms have begun blooming, and the Memphis Botanic Garden will be celebrating them and Japanese culture during each BLOOM Saturday in March. Tulips will pop up soon, and you’ll find multiple varieties scattered throughout the 96-acre garden. Enjoy southern delights like azaleas, roses, and more!
