There’s no better way to celebrate the spring season than the April Showers Spring Floral Show. During the event, a pastel-colored palette of blooms will fill the Floral Dome at Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory. And with nearly 2,000 plants total, it’s a real feast for the eyes! Take a look:
One of Wisconsin’s most unique destinations, Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory (otherwise known as The Domes), gives visitors the chance to experience a desert oasis, tropical jungle, and floral gardens – all in one place.

In addition to taking in the gorgeous flowers, visitors can visit a designated area of the dome to learn some fun facts about conserving the Great Lakes.
