Description

Four campus destinations to explore

Celebrate spring at this free, annual event! April showers bring May flowers—and this opportunity to explore campus gardens, greenhouses, and research facilities.

  • Visit the DC Smith Greenhouse, Allen Centennial Garden, Steenbock Library, and the Wisconsin Energy Institute.
  • Explore hands-on activities with seeds, plants and soil.
  • Meet UW scientists.
  • Take home plants and seeds for your own garden (while supplies last).

Kids age 12 and under – visit all four locations to earn a free houseplant to take home!

There is something for everybody at this fun-for-the-whole-family event!

Stay tuned for our map and passport!
