Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Ready to blast off into the cosmos? Olbrich’s Atrium becomes its own universe during our 2024 Spring Flower Show: Olbrich in Orbit! Join us on this intergalactic journey celebrating everything space and discover an infinite array of plant inspiration. Adults and children alike will delight in this creative first glimpse of spring.
Spring marks the beginning of a new cycle of seasons and would not be the same without Olbrich Gardens' annual Perennial Plant Sale! Curated plug trays are currently on sale, while individually potted perennials will go on sale April 16 at 10 a.m.
Marvel at eye-popping color around every turn and bathe your senses in botanical bliss. Orchid Escape features over 1,000 blooming orchids artfully displayed for your enjoyment, including new orchids special ordered from vendors as well as specimens from our own permanent collections.
In this workshop, we'll use alcohol inks and acrylic paint to create two 9x12 floral bouquet paintings, both matted to 11x14. Learn techniques that transform abstract backgrounds and use negative-space painting to create beautiful works of art.
Calling all creatives! Get ready to dive into your artistic side with macro photography. Join us to learn how to make your own bouquet and then gain some tips on how to photograph your flowers to make their beauty last. All levels welcome and no previous photography education necessary. Phone cameras are more than welcome. If bringing a DSLR camera, please ensure you have it's basic working knowledge as we will not be able to help onsite. Each attendee will leave with: a flower bouquet and macro photography tips booklet to ensure you've got the essential knowledge and goodies to keep your creative juices flowing even after the class.
