More than just flowers 

Rotary Botanical Gardens is more than just a place to admire the beautiful flower and plants we call part of our collection, they’re a thriving habitat with many different creatures.

 

From hummingbirds sipping nectar to dragonflies zipping by, there’s always a different critter to see.

 

Butterflies flutter between blooms, birds call from the trees, and chipmunks dart along the paths, every visit holds a new discovery.
