Warm sun. Fragrant flowers. Defrost your winter-weary self and watch the magic of spring unfold with half a million blooms in The Garden and the galleries at Newfields, 4000 North Michigan Road, Indianapolis, Indiana.

“Spring Blooms“, March 20 through May 17, 2020, begins with beautiful displays of orchids, along with small, outdoor floral gems. Then come the daffodils and hyacinths. Pansies, peonies, and cool-season veggies. Wildflowers in the woods. Don’t miss the crescendo, typically in April, when redbuds, dogwoods, and lilacs fill The Garden with a floral haze.

Newfields staff and volunteers planted 125,000 new bulbs for this year’s exhibition. Make sure to stop by the Beer Garden for a cool one, then stroll through the pop-up garden, a lush meadow flourishing with fritillaries.

UPDATE: Newfields is one of the many venues closed to the public at least until April 14, 2020.
