Spring Enchantment arrives April 1

Warmer temperatures, longer days, and outdoor flowers and plants blooming are just around the corner! Springtime is a favorite season at Reiman Gardens, highlighted by its monthlong celebration known as “Spring Enchantment,” which runs April 1-30, 2024.

Bring your family and furry friends for a fun, casual, new experience, and watch our grounds turn greener throughout the month.
