The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum offers a bit of romance among the blooms.
Flowers have long been de rigueur for expressions of romance and Valentine’s Day gifting. What better way to hit that mark than by visiting the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s annual Spring Flower Show, running February 1–March 16. (Ticket prices vary.) The 1,200-acre magical horticultural garden and arboretum is only 4 miles west of Chanhassen at 3675 Arboretum Drive, Chaska.
For those in search of a unique and beautiful day or evening out, flower show organizers highlight the event as an ideal option. “It’s the perfect place for a daytime date in the café among indoor blooms, or you can take advantage of special date nights—After Hours With the Flowers—on select nights,” says Sarah Jackson. Those evenings include extra programming and are ideal for a special outing.
If you’re primarily interested in viewing spring blooms, this show is a must-see to gather gardening inspiration and build excitement for spring’s anticipated arrival.
